How long do you see yourself participating in competition events? I see a lot of guys give it up when they get past a certain age.

I just took 9th place at the 44Festa in Tokyo this past summer (look for my performance on youtube). It was fun and felt good to be back up on the stage in a competitive event. I was never a focused competitor, my enthusiasm comes from teaching groups of people to play rather than the attention being on me. It’s never been about me. “You Can Do It Too!”
