I'd like to try my hand at chess sometime, but I'm too much of a n00b for even a casual tournament.

I particularly like your second photo. What did you think of the bands you saw?

There will probably be kids there with ratings in the 500 to 800 range, though I can't promise that. As a gauge, most adult beginners who are reasonable game players are going to be in the 900-1100 range, and I'm currently just a touch over 1500. Of course, on the flip side, I think most folks need to expec to lose most or all of their games the first time they play in a tournament....

As for the bands, I've seen Father Octopus a few times, and I like their music. Honest Bob is quite silly at times, but has some really good lyrics. I have some CDs I can lend you if you are curious. I didn't really see enough of Giant Target or The Cold Goodnight to get a sense of them, but they weren't quite as polished as the other two, I think. Still, fun to go out and see music up close and work on my photography.
