Lion Ceremony Underway

As we did yesterday, we are starting the day today with a traditional Chinese lion ceremony. J.J. Liu, Vanessa Rousso and Chad Brown got things started on the cymbals, drum and gong respectively. After a couple of ceremonial "first bangs", they turned the instruments over to the professionals, who are banging away as I type this while three dragons wander through the tournament area, blessing each table and chasing away the evil spirits.
For a sense of what it was like, watch the video from yesterday's lion ceremony.
