Yes, GO club is meeting tonight 7-9+pm

It was great seeing some new faces last time. 
Looking forward to seeing everyone again tonight.

Also -- the Milwaukee Art Museum's Summer of China programming this summer may involve a big GO event.  We'll need a big crowd of go players to show up, including from out of town.  I think it will be a tournament for RATED players and informal lessons for unrated players.

Milwaukee GO Club meetings resume January 22

The Milwaukee GO Club will be on hiatus for the holidays and will resume in 2011 on Saturday January 22. See you then, or at go events in IL (e-mail milwaukeego@gmail.com for more info), and until then have a great Christmas, belated Chanukah, Kwanzaa, solstice, New Year, vacation days off, and every other celebration you might have between now and then.

Good and bad news for Milwaukee GO

Dear Milwaukee Go community,

You may have heard the terrible news already: Kay Ishizuka, who was a prime mover in the Milwaukee GO scene, and the originator of this blog, was hit by a car and killed last week.  The first time I met her, she introduced me to the go club.  The last time I saw her, she had traveled up from Florida to defend her PhD dissertation -- but had, from half a continent away, organized a go tournament here for that same weekend, complete with beautiful flyers.  She was so helpful and energetic with the tournament that I had no idea her "other" activity of the weekend was such a momentous and important one.  If people are interested, we can create some kind of memorial -- perhaps an event in her honor.  

Now for some more positive news.  This Saturday night at 7pm, we have the honor of hosting Lisa Scott, newly elected Central Region Director of the American Go Association.  This will be a great chance to connect with the wider go world: regional, national, and international.  Lots of great opportunities!  

Please come and meet Ms. Scott.  She will be at Bayshore's Board Game Barrister 7pm on Saturday 10/9; she will also be at LaLumiere Hall Rm 262 on the Marquette University campus, 4pm on Sunday 10/10.  

For more info, contact events@boardgamebarrister.com.  

Friday 4/9 go night 6:30 pm

Old and new go players welcome!

Look for the game tables in/near the Rotunda at Bayshore.

See you there!

3/12 Welcome to UWM Chinese, Japanese, and Korean programs

We welcome the members and friends of UWM's Chinese, Japanese, and Korean programs on Friday 3/12.  We'll have a warm welcome and some extra boards out in the Rotunda at Bayshore.  It's a peaceful non-political place to come together intergenerationally and enjoy a cultural treasure.
