Complaining: it works 

That's right, folks. I complained on the internet about a lack of recognition, and I got results. Today our DU prez publicly thanked me for my efforts. Now that this topic is thoroughly dead, let's never mention it again.
I do have something useful to say. After thanking Jesse for his, well, thanks, I asked him about Winter Carnival and Nationals.
Now, from what Dave has told me, nationals is uber expensive. I'm not sure why, but I've got a feeling it has something to do with the fact we didn't want to host it. Just a feeling.
So I guess all you UNB people out there are trying to make up a budget for the year, wondering what tournaments to keep and which ones to skip. I have news which might help make a decision, specificly news about the Molson Room.
This is gonna come as a surprise, but word on the street [or from Jesse] is that *neither* tourney is gonna have the Molson room. Not even winter carnival. I guess something's happened: we pissed them off, they're overbooked, they're overpriced...something, but we're not doing it anymore.
That's bad. But Jesse followed up with this jem: the winter carnival banquet will have an open bar. So really, nothing's lost. Even better, this banquet will probably not be in the middle of nowhere: we all win.
That's good. On the other hand, Jesse could give me no assurances about nationals. He said they haven't got any banquet arrangements yet, which makes me think it won't have an open bar.
That's bad. So my advice: come to winter carnival over nationals. It's cheaper (I think) and it has unlimited liquor. Either way, I'll be here. You can't lose! Unless, of course, I cause heart attacks through my mere presence...
