Party Starts Early for 2011 U.S. Congress

The 2011 US Go Congress begins Saturday in Santa Barbara, CA, but attendees are already arriving from around the world.  "This year, many attendees have opted to arrive early and enjoy the air, the beach, and the other go players before anything official starts," says Congress Co-Director Andrew Jackson (at left, playing the UK's Francis Roads on Friday night).  "They are as excited as we are to greet the 20 attending professionals and nearly 500 fellow go enthusiasts who will be coming to Santa Barbara this year." Not signed up yet?
