EK Crown site

I just got a call from my protegee and my husband. They're up in Canada, and have discovered that neither of them has ANY signal at all on their cell phones (different carriers) at the Crown Tourney site. They were able to call me because they went off-site for dinner.

So I guess we aren't going to get live txt play-by-play of the tournament after all :( How quaint.

Bummer - I was hoping to find out enough to let the folk at an event down here know during feast.

Can we budget for wireless cards for the list mistresses, the ones that can connect from anywhere?

They need to send a runner to find signal when it's over.

P.S. If you can't get to there, I can cut and paste but I didn't think you'd appreciate a multi-screen comment in your blog. :D

Remember when the society was young and rocks were soft and cell phones hadn't been invented yet and long-distance calls cost money, when we found out who won by having someone make a collect call for the winner (which would of course be declined)? Times have changed.
