    Sorry.. :-(
    I wanted to make sure vacation rush hasn't started yet (flight prices also tend to jump after June 15), yet the school are almost over...
    Are you sure you don't want to stay here in a beautiful SoCal just a few days longer? ;-)

    Aaron, if this first one goes OK, I'll make sure to make a sequel :-) Maybe even come to UT/AZ :-)

    Anybody else is interested in the suggested updated dates? headscratch.gif
    For me it's not critical at all, but I need to confirm with the hotel soon.

    OK, dates have been changed to the weekend 13-14 of June (Leah? mwink.gif)

    And guess what: it happens no matter how few people sign up. deal.gif Basically, if there is not enough to justify renting hotel room we simply use my studio (and I'll pick you guys up from the hotel, it's only a few minutes away). And if we have enough for the hotel - we'll use the hotel:-) So as long as we have at least one student - and we already do, thanks to Frank:-) - it's a go! clap.gif

    Just a reminder - early bird discount expires Feb 16th, and the whole signup period expires March 1st.

    Roger that! will send email this evening (at work, no access).

    and for anyone else, no I've no clue what I'm doing but I expect to learn HEAPS and when else will I get folks to be teaching objects for me? I'd say that folks definitely don't need to wait until they are 'educated enough' for this. thumb.gif
