Shouts

Blaze: You must’ve had a good night. We couldn’t find you anywhere!
Hold Dat: Thanks for letting us chill in your room and for taking care of my TV.
Jav1ts: Thanks for the matches. Even after being awake 24+ hrs, you wouldn’t give up!
Liston: I haven’t actually formally introduced myself to you yet, but thanks for always sharing your knowledge.
Renegade: Thanks for the invite to your room! Thanks for the live stream – I had to leave early. Love your work in the Gief thread, btw.
Moose: Thanks (but no thanks) for offering me Eric K’s leftovers and a potentially smelly “seafood medley.” LOL You’re an AMAZING player, btw. You should’ve heard Renegade going on about how proud he was of you Sat night.
Shank, Damdai: Thanks for the uncontested Russian beatdowns.
Ski, OJ, John: Represent Mexico!
Ian: I was amazed that you knew my last name off the top of your head. Is that part of your research?
[Name withheld]: I mention this only because it makes me even more appreciative of the kindness and hospitality of all the total strangers I met this weekend. When a friend of mine mentioned that he was chilling in a particular room, and that I should come over, I did. Unlike at every other tiny room, crammed with men both asleep and awake, I was not immediately welcomed with open arms. [Name witheld] stood inside the door, impeding my entrance to a very large room with relatively few people in it. I asked if my friend was inside, and he said “No.” I told him “He’s right there; I’m looking right at him.” A few seconds passed with nothing else said. “Well, can I come in?” The response: “There’s a lot of guys in here, man.” I respected his decision and have no hard feelings, but I wanted to relate just how truly thankful I am for those who welcomed me without hesitation. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
