[Seattle Go Center] New Meetup and Cancel Kids Time

1:04 PM |

There is a new meetup in Columbia City, Wednesdays 4:30-7ish, hosted by often-volunteering Lusha.  It is currently at Chandala Thai.  The family restaurant requests everyone who uses the space to order off the menu, drinks and appetizers are ok.  Backup hosts are welcome, so please reach out at https://forms.gle/zytpSkUJKuS5Q5Zz8.  Once the meet-up has solid legs, the plan is to facilitate teaching some kids in the local Rainier Vista community during the meet-up.  This meet-up is inspired by a longtime member of the Seattle Go community, John "Jahnboi" Richards, to set up a joyful space where one can go to just be and relax.  This meetup will coordinate on this discord channel: #columbia-city-meetup, https://discord.gg/RbCeXnZYVz.

We are also announcing Kids Time is cancelled now through summer.  Depending on interest in the fall, we will resume Kids Time.

Thanks,
Bill

Hello Go Players,
 
This April 20th, we are hosting another Lightning tournament from 2pm to 6pm.  This is a casual, lots-of-fun handicap tournament with fast time control (1 min main time with 5x10second byouyomi).  They say lightning Go is about instinct, not reading, so abandon the intensity of reading for more cutting and crashing and burning and laughter.  There will be 5 rounds with an estimated 20-30 min per game. 
 
After the tournament, let's all go down the street to St. Andrews Pub (decent food and beer) to regale games and enjoy food and drink together: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Seattle+Go+Center,+SE+corner+of+Brick+Building,+6611+Dayton+Ave+N,+Seattle,+WA+98103/St.+Andrews+Pub,+7406+Aurora+Ave+N,+Seattle,+WA+98103/@47.6801372,-122.3600604,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x5490145f80c1e7ed:0x48e2bf2b613f5171!2m2!1d-122.3527494!2d47.6770614!1m5!1m1!1s0x5490143d8e988829:0xebd8cc2a8f7b2f9d!2m2!1d-122.3442857!2d47.6832105?entry=ttu
 
I'll bring my care so can give a ride to a handful.
 
I look forward to seeing you there and enjoying the friendly, fast-paced games.

[Seattle Go Center] Re: Looking for Volunteers, Practice Your Japanese, Teach Go at JCCCW

12:54 PM |

Hello, just putting this out again.  We would appreciate three more volunteers if anyone feels like hanging out at the JCCCW, enjoying some festival spirit, and teaching Go.

Thanks,
Bill

Subject: Looking for Volunteers, Practice Your Japanese, Teach Go at JCCCW
 
The Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington is hosting a traditional holiday event, Kodomo no Hi (Children's Day) at the JCCCW on 05 MAY: https://www.jcccw.org/kodomo-no-hi.  The event is 11am-5pm, and we will go there at 10am to set up.

Japanese language is 100% not necessary, but if you're dabbling in learning Japanese, I'm sure you'll get some chances to use some with people visiting our tables.  We'll have two long tables and 6 teaching positions.

We are looking for 4-5 folks to help us teach Go, but more is fine too 😊.  Last year they had over 900 participants.  Kids have a passport book that we'll stamp if they engage with our station.

Please reply or send mail to programs@seattlego.org to volunteer.

Thanks,
Bill
