just my luck...i have pink eye.....its horrible and sore (itl be cleared up before friday-i hope so im not gonna give it to everyone else ) but also the chinese circus is in belfast fri, sat and sun..........Grrrrrrrrrrrr waiting all year and they pick this weekend to perform......typical but oh well guess im just gonna have to make up for it by havin a wonderful time at the convention..... still not sure where im staying at thou

I thought pink eye was something people only got on tv!!!

Hope you get better soon!!!

We're off to see the wizard... i mean the chinese state circus... tonight...

tell y'all all about it tomorow...

is pink eye the common word for conjunctiveitis?? if so my boss has it, he looks like some weird satan/vampire combo, pretty scary stuff.

get better soon no matter what you have honey! :huggles:

Hey best wishes all you Dublin organiser people!

Here's some congratulations in advance...

Oh no! Not the Chinese State Circus!!!.... hopefully not biasing anyone's opinion too much before they see them but, I was horribly dissappointed by their show in Galway Mostly because I went to see the shaolin monks and it turned out to be "shaolin wu-shu warriors" TM, plasticy, cheesy, sacrilidge, skimpy flintstone wearing, warriors...
However if you're going for the circus side of things... yes there was definatly some cool moments
My overall judgement of the show was so clouded by my shattered expectations that I couldn't really enjoy it. However the majority of people I went with had a good time, so hope ye all enjoy it.

I've been having a superlovelyintenslypoifiying experience hree in germany with Olivier and Doro for the past week, and looking forward to continuing it in Dublin.

See ye all there

i know exactly where you are coming from. I studied traditional kung fu for years and am a purist that goes way beyond geekery.

but i love a wacky chinese kung fu movie...

if ya know what i mean

there are no shaolin monks left alive. none... its very sad but true...

really?

that really is very sad

I remember seeing a black and white photo of a shaolin monk (or perhaps it was a different kung fu master/fella) running along a wall.... really beautiful...



a tear for the world's loss

yeah

There are alot of kung fu schools in the shaolin region and so they use the name and location. But traditional shaolin kung fu, as it was, is no more.

Its worth bearing in mind, there are over 120 different styles of 'traditional kung fu'. there are probably a hundred more variations in the west that are simply pretending to be kung fu, teaching people a shadow of something great. that too is a travesty.

/bites his tongue before he goes on a kung fu rant/


yay for conventions!!!!

yeah, speaking of shaolin & kung fu, theres a juggling convention in dublin this weekend 10-12th march , for details check www.dublin.ie/juggling
