CSGibson Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 So I'm going to fly out to Atlanta on Monday, I'm going to be at the NABC for two weeks. I'll be competing in the flight B GNTs for district 20 for 5 days (I hope), then on to the Spingolds and the mixed BAM with the same team for both events, myself and my local partner with a pair of scots that my partner knows (I've been calling them the Great Scots! for a while now, exclamation point implied in my tone). If for some reason we are eligible, we'll also do the Wehrner pairs. If anyone sees me in Atlanta, let me know who you are in the forums (assuming I don't already know you) Chris Gibson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'll be flying down Thursday evening, and I'll be there until the end. Hopefully I won't see you in the LM Pairs on Friday or Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I hope to defeat you in GNT B finals, see you Sunday :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffford76 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I will also be there, mostly playing the same schedule as Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sounds like the forum would enjoy it if we could get the GNT-B on Vugraph. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 From my research, playing in the GNT Bs are going to be myself, AKhare, and Straube from district 20, trevahound from 19, Stephen Tu from 21, Ben Lessard from 1, bd71 from 3, and Dustinst22 from 23. Jeff is playing flight A, but his characteristic modesty kept him from pointing that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I get there on the 2nd, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Adam and I will also be there. He's playing in GNTs. I'm not. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Best wishes to all of the forum members in Atlanta. Look forward to the bidding and play quizzes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I am there on July 31 until sometime.... hopefully late. My schedule is not complete, just the first four days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Wed (for GNTs) to last Friday. Mr Ace and Sathya are coming too. And Markleon. Can we have a real get together this time instead of an awkward meeting between sessions at some random coffee place? Since we have the Morning/ Afternoon schedule - how about a dinner?

JanM Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'll be there organizing lots of Vugraph, starting with the GNT Semi-Final and Final (sorry, Barry, only the top flight). I hope Adam M will still be playing in those matches! (he's representing my District, having had the sense to move from So Cal to No Cal). If anyone finds themselves without a game the first weekend or Weds thru Sunday, and wants to be a Vugraph operator (GNTs, then Spingold and Wagar), send me an email (marteljan at gmail dot com) or come by the playing site. I'm very often looking for operators at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 LM Pairs & 5k Spingold. Say hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 foobar (Atul) and straube (David) will be there. If you can find Chris Gibson, you should be able to find us as well. We are team mates and hopefully, we'll still be on talking terms when you find us (just kidding :D)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Since we have the Morning/ Afternoon schedule - how about a dinner? Dinner isn't a bad idea -- are there any places there that are remotely vegan friendly? I was planning on stocking up hummus / pita bread to be on the safe side...

Vampyr Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I think that maybe it is unwise to post on a public internet forum that you are going to be away from home for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfa1010 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Spingold from next monday, but if we contrary to our expectations don't go all the way to the final, we will play side tournaments. Swiss in the weekend etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If robbers troll bridge forum sites, know who I am, and know where I live, I guess I'm in trouble....but I think that is less likely than an asteroid hitting the planet while I am away on my vacation, so I'm not going to worry about it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
