I remember GM Joel Benjamin. He was here in '99 to play in a couple of events (winning the Saintly Cup) and also gave a lecture on the IBM v Kasparov match. He won't remember yours truly, but at least he's quoting the blog.

I remeber the Saintly Cup - I spent a lot of time moving furniture and setting up chess pieces (with help from Fred F - but no-one else). I had not met TCG at that time.
Good event - absolutely the best place for a venue. But I do remember it cost me lot to park under the building. Well organised & run by Jason.
These days I enjoy Joel's commentary on ICC (parking is free).
