The KFM relaunch will not happen at TCEC. They don't have it together. I'm not sure they have anything because I have yet to see even a blueprint.
The two other tournaments have impacted our judge pool - some of our top traditional judges will go to that Chinatown tournament. However, without any Tai Chi, we've got several Tai Chi judges that can switch over. We've also got several Tai Chi judges that came to the Judges' meeting last Saturday even though we have nothing for them to do. At least they got a free lunch.
My Dragon Crew is in decent shape assuming no one else cancels. Had 2 drop out last week, but they were negligible.
Liu Yu & Li Jing are not coming. Liu Yu is headed back to PRC for a reunion with the Beijing Wushu Team (Jet Li's team - she was his teammate) and Li Jing just opened her new school. That was CMAT BS. However, Sifu Bryant gave me a cool pen based on the Chinese imperial Tiger banner from the Met art store, so I am happy.
Another master gave me a clock. Clocks are considered unlucky gifts in Feng shui, but it's a laser cut vinyl record with Star Wars images. And another practitioner gave me a pu erh tea cake. Not that fond of pu erh, but it's better than Lipton. Now he wants to get together and serve me tea (but he is in the tea trade, so that's cool).
No idea if the puzzle mats were recovered.
The crew that is rebooting the website will be filming. I am not instilled with confidence.
