Made some changes to the current plan. First of all it maybe hard to try and figure out how many people are coming and have a cater lunch. So when we all decide we are hungry, pitch in some money and get something to eat. Or you may leave and get your own food. Second change is have the cost for weekend to be $80.00. After October 11 cost will be $100.00 for the weekend. If you bring 5 students the 5th person is free.

Presenters do get in free to the event. You must supply your own hotel/motel and food for the weekend. I will be working with some of the hotels to try and get some kind of discounts for the weekend. Will list the hotels that will offer a discount later on.

PS: I thought I would be staying in your kitchen and havnig a direct access to the fridge? I guess with your comment about hotel rooms and food, this is out???? Let us know when you have some more info. Thanks Again! :asian:

I do have a pop-up tent, that has a fridge in it. You will have to supply the food. better then sleeping on the hard floor.

Definately looking forward to the fun.

Bob,

Thanks, I already had plans on staying with Arnisador.

I was just joking about you trying to host everyone. That would be a very large task, and most likely costly .

Thanks for the offer though!

Make sure to bring a jacket or shirt that you don't mind ripping (which is a possibility in the flexible weapons stuff that I do). Gi tops will work and generally won't rip (especially judo gi). But if you don't have a gi top, then bring something you don't mind getting ripped (or buy some cheap Fruit of the Loom shirts). The ripping will usually occur along seams.

Just curious, should I have recieved a response to my email to you? I am just wondering... because if somthing happened and you missed my email I dont wanna miss out...

 

[Kempojujutsu]

I did receive your email, but I didn't responed to you. I figured several people would have the same question, and instead of sending out 20 or more of the same email. I would post your question here with the answer. If anyone has questions about the seminar either post them here or you can email me at [email protected]. If it is a question I think everyone needs to know I may post the answer here. If it is more personal I will email you. Hope to see many of you there

Hey how else are we going to balance this budget. . . .speeding tickets from those crazy Detroit people who loose their way into the hunting turf of the Ohio plains' greatest predator. . .the Ohio State Trooper. Beware the order of the grey cruiser and drill Sgt. hat.

The online registration form will be up this evening. Unfortunately, due to a disagreement with my credit card processor, I will not be able to offer credit card payments for this event.
