* After-Workshop Dinner not included in workshop fee; Saturday’s workshop ends at 7:30 PM, but we have our room reserved until Midnight so there will be free play until then for anyone who wants it
\n** I dislike being cooped up inside all the time.\u00a0 On Sunday, for a change of pace, we’re planning on having our first two hours of the workshop outside on a patio.\u00a0 Pick up some breakfast or coffee beforehand for some Go under the sky!
\n***Pending on “facts on the ground”, we may end a little later, but not earlier.<\/p>\n
For now, we’re planning on meeting in the University of Central Florida like all of our past go tournaments here in Orlando.\u00a0 The address is:<\/p>\n
University of Central Florida<\/address>\n4000 Central Florida Blvd<\/address>\nOrlando, FL, 32816<\/address>\nInside the Student Union, Sand Key Room 220<\/p>\n
This is our current venue selection and we have our room reserved for the weekend.\u00a0 We’re also looking at other locations.\u00a0 If we can find a superior location then we’ll change it, but it won’t be more than 10 minutes away from the University of Central Florida.<\/p>\n
The cost for the full weekend will be $90.\u00a0 I know that this isn’t cheap for anybody, but neither are go workshops \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 I expect to just break even with full attendance.<\/p>\n
If you enjoy go, I know you’ll find this workshop as enjoyable as you find it useful.\u00a0 Guo Juan is really something.\u00a0 Besides being as incredibly strong as all professional players, Guo Juan is also an expert go teacher.\u00a0 She has her own website that you can visit here<\/a>.\u00a0 Additionally, she’s created over 500 audio lectures for download, some of which are free<\/em>, which you can find here<\/a>.\u00a0 As someone who’s taken a lesson from her at the Go Congress, I can vouch that she knows how to relay complex concepts to weaker players.\u00a0 As it’s a rare event in Florida for a go workshop to happen, if you want to see the strength of a professional player firsthand then this is your best shot.<\/p>\n The workshop specifics are still being worked out, but it definitely will involve a few things.\u00a0 We’ll be split up into two groups based on strength to ensure that everyone is taught useful material.\u00a0 While one group is being taught, the other group is going to be playing matches against each other while recording the games.\u00a0 Then the groups will switch.\u00a0 The group that was playing games is going to have their games reviewed by Guo Juan while the original group is then going to play games against each other.\u00a0 The workshop material itself will likely be varied.\u00a0 Two weeks before the workshop, I’ll be sending out some practice material from Guo Juan for everyone to do, which we’ll review at the workshop.\u00a0 Additionally, there’s my favorite part which is the simultaneous games.\u00a0 There’s nothing quite like facing down a pro across the board \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I hope many of you will decide to come!<\/p>\n There are 20 spots.\u00a0 I already have one spot (I’m paying $90 as well), so there are 19 left.\u00a0 I’m opening up sign-ups to Go Orlando\/Go Club of UCF ONLY for the first week starting today.\u00a0 A week from today, I’m going to send out a similar email to every other club in Florida.\u00a0 I don’t know how quickly I’ll get a response back from everyone else, so if you definitely want to get a spot, tell me you’re coming within the week.<\/p>\n I hope to see all of you at the workshop,<\/p>\n Joshua Lee Hey everyone, Excellent news!\u00a0 The workshop is a go on March 27-28, Saturday and Sunday, here are the details: **EXACT TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE WORKSHOP OCCURS, CHECK BACK** Schedule: Saturday, March 27: 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM Arrive, eat Breakfast 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM Workshop Part 1 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM… Continue reading Go Orlando’s Guo Juan Workshop<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,6,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements","category-special-events","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tesseract.org\/go-orlando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Availability:<\/h2>\n
