BBT5

I was in the Oakland Airport when BBT5 kicked off last night, at the tail end of a three-day bender that included wine tasting in the Livermore Valley (where I grew up), dive-bar shenanigans with Emet, Kool Breeze and Shot and a glorious afternoon at the Coliseum (marred only by the home team being pelted by the Orioles).

I originally thought I'd be home in time to participate in the maiden event, but that's only because I thought it started at 7 p.m. PST. Incorrect. I'll miss the rest of this week's tourneys due to further life issues, like attending Game 4 of the Kings-Canucks series on Wednesday, but hope to play in as many of the events as possible.

Good on Al for his continued hard work and awesomeness and good luck to all of you out there.
