At long last, we can see the beautiful Golden Rik Awards won by Gay Games VIII

Here are the Golden Rik Awards won by Games Cologne, one for the best event (Gay Games VIII) and the other for best cultural event (Gay Games VIII opening ceremony). Congrats to all the volunteers of Games Cologne and SC Janus!

And while we're looking back at Gay Games VIII, thanks to Felix from SC Janus for helping to get an important shipment of goods from Cologne back to San Francisco! The last box has arrived, and everything seems to be in one piece.

Shipping issues provided the behind-the-scenes drama for Gay Games VIII, so thanks to the Games Cologne volunteers, to Darl Schaaff and Doug Litwin from the FGG, Valarie McCall from the City of Cleveland, and from several other people who spent a great deal of time and effort in trying to sort out some messy situations!
