Go Photo: A Latte, Beer & Go

Ed Lee sent in this great shot of "Me playing go with my friend Blake Haber. The place is Third Window Brewery in Santa Barbara, CA, where they brew and serve their own beers. I drink only root beer but today I tried a latte from a new coffee stand there. "Blake's girlfriend Michelle Dixon snapped the photo -- unbeknownst to both Blake and me at the time. It was a 2-stone game, I took white. Judging from the white stone in Blake's hand, I believe we were fighting the last half-point baby ko in yose. It was our usual wild and crazy game where I made a 40+ point blunder in mid-game, but miraculously the result was W+0.5 -- I couldn't believe it after we finished scoring." Got go photo?
