[FSPA] Scott Sidley

[Max Baskin]

I was up in Maryland on a business trip. I'd lived in the area before, but
had been down in North Carolina for a few years. Since I knew I'd have some
free time at night, I got in touch with my old friend Wulf and he suggested
I swing by Town Hall, where he'd be for league.

After league, he suggested I come by Silver Diner and hang out with a
couple of the guys from league. That was the night I met Joe Schober and
Scott Sidley.

Cancer fucking sucks.
