So long, MHL

I just shut down the MHL for the year by marginally updating the site and putting in the info on the next tournament, which is the First-Timers on Oct 20.

Oct 20? Yikes. I'd better start ordering buses.

Of course, I'll have to update for real at some point, with the dates of the actual tournaments and whatnot. Talk has been that the Nov event will be in Spackenkill, loosely tied into a Vassar event, but it's early days to really believe that it will happen. The People's Champion is working on it, though. (Speaking of which, he's now officially a Bronx Science graduate. Who knew?) And January will be a bust, but then again, in 2013 Beacon will be the New Improved Beacon, now featuring Rooms! Not much else will change, though.

I love the MHL. I love a league devoted entirely to newbies. Get 'em while they're young, eh?

MHL is the best thing ever. Today, one of our most accomplished former debaters -- class of '77 -- donated two huge boxes of trophies. In it were a series of MHL plaques. (The MHL used to give small plaques!) He said they were among his most treasured awards, and this guy won Emory, Harvard, etc. Pretty awesome.
