HCRealms.com member, jekyllhyde101, was kind enough to share their store's celebration of Alex Avila's World Championship win! Nice cake!

Group photo from Game On! Comics in Vienna with Alex two days after Gencon. I am the one in front all the way to the right (looking at the picture) with the glasses. The gentleman next to me with the permanent tan is George Ward, who started the group and is still one of the judges, with me. Next over, front and center, is of course Alex (with Morgan LeFay, no less). The tallest one in the back from with the dark hair and goatee is Louis, the owner of the store and also a player from time to time. The youngster standing directly behind Alex with the short-cropped hair is named Greyson. He was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago, and told the doctor when informed he had to stay in the hospital for a while that he had to be out by Friday because he had a tournament to play in that night at the store. Just one of the many good stories we have from over the years of playing this game of ours!
Said it in another thread, but congrats to Alex for winning with a NAMED theme team. First Gencon report I've seen that didn't make me want to audibly yawn. Great job!
People think it's about the games or whatever, but it's more truly about the stories and the people and you've identified that perfectly here with a single photo and a paragraph.
