Hey, everybody!
Man this thread is growin'. Bram's flight is booked. The room is ready. It's gonna be fun slammin' & jammin' with y'all.
CHO is in, as long as his work gives him some hours.
Jim,
You'll have to wait for another time, I guess. I'm telling ya, come to Israel! Great trip. We can both beat on Gadi. How often can you pound on a lawyer and than have him feed you at his house, happy about the exchange?
HoK crew,
Frank should have your stuff soon. I'll email you when I have it.
Joyce,
Nice to hear from you. Please remind your husband how lucky he is to have a beautiful, knifeknut, hockey fan for a wife. (For a Canadian, the last point is almost law.)
Al,
How are ya? Say hello to Neal & Greta for me. It was an absolute treat to hang out with both of them in Vancouver.
Vince,
What kind of "bait-and-switch" operation are you guys running at BA? I go there looking for a $60 Machete, which was "just sold last week"

, and when I ask if the Patton Mandrita is still there, (specifically asking Ida to lie to me if it is) she says "yes, and it's beautiful". What kinda crap is that!
So, $625 later.....well you know the rest. I may have to remove the BA link from my website.
Bram,
Things are rolling along. Fish bait will be waiting for you upon arrival. Live uni should be easily available in November. Dim SUm has been scouted out. Maybe some Thai too. Registrations are on pace for a full class. I'll drop you an email later in the week.

Any questions about the seminar? Hotel/motel locations for those that are travelling?
Oh yeah, Frank (Mr. Stinky) will be having Bram teach the following weekend (16th/17th) in Spokane, WA for anyone that wants to double their training time. I'll be heading down to play at that one too. A couple of the Vancouver area people may be able to hitch a ride if you want to come along.
