Sounds like you had a good tournament Sean. Do you still plan on coming to Maryland in the near, or not so near future???

Frank:
Yes, I do. The problem is I'm a working man, with many contract customers here in my local area (I'm in I.T., so I'm sort of on call 24/7). However, some of the professional organizations I belong to (e.g. the SANS Institute) often have seminars in the Baltimore area, and if I have the opportunity to secure one, I'll certainly let you know! (You're in my Contacts list.) One thing I'm dying to do, is to make it back to that seafood restaurant in the harbor that serves crab, heavily Old Bay seasoned, where the waiter/waitress comes out with a huge tray (the size of the table itself) and dumps that tray's contents onto the paper-coated table surface itself, where you eat scrumptious crab until you drop. (The name of that establishment escapes me, it was many, many years ago -- hopefully it's still in business?)
Thanks for the accolades on the tournament! Although I didn't make it to the money rounds, I had a good time, and most importantly, I was comfortable -- I felt like I belonged there! Got into some after-hours action, and I came out winner, so it was a great day/evening for me. Raxx is such a nice room, too; clean, modern, uptempo, well-maintained Gold Crowns, great service people, something for everyone there.
I'll certainly let you know when I plan to be down MD way, for sure!
Warmest regards,
-Sean
