Happy Holidays to all!
With the winter break “debate hiatus” — at least in terms of tournaments — it’s a naturally slow time at Victory Briefs Daily. We’re gearing up for the Victory Briefs Tournament, and we’re working on new content for the web site, but in the meantime, we’ll have a lighter than usual volume of new articles this week. (Indeed, Andrew Garvin will be upset to hear that “Ask Cruz” will return to its regular twice-a-week format next week for 2008. But keep submitting questions!)
I am preparing two new interviews — with J.W. Patterson and Michelin Massey — that have long been in the works and are lookign fantastic. What else would you like to see on VBD in the New Year? And what are you doing with your winter break? What tournaments do you look forward to attending on the new topic?
Wow, quite a few potential conversation starters. Take one and run with it. Or, propose a new one in the comments section!
