nate i can make you some staffs, but its going to be tight for me to make the first set between now and then, so let me make mine and then ill make yours ok?
did you wnat short sticks or staffs or what?
can we have some more info on the t-shirts please?
also on the sunday for the timetable, what will be in the THuuuuumbs class?
also how uber techie will the contact be
can we have a more detailed lesson plan, its rather hard to decide what classes you wnat to do when you have no idea whats in them
will there be a show by each person at the end of the day to show what they have leared?
would that be possible, so you have positive re-enforcment of the days learning?

f*ck! that's a lot of questions mech
just for a laugh and because work is boring me this morning (as your obviously is too
), i'm going to innaccurately answer them all for you:
up to nate but i'd say 1.2m to 1.4m; they will be t-shaped and have something printed on them - either you want one or ya don't; thumbs - weird contact technique where you use your thumb to lock the staff to the back of your hands; uber - that is to say, very; no - if you can't work out what's in them from the titles you need a smack upside the head; maybe, but if there is, i don't want to do that bit.
i love guessing
got a card and a soft case in the post for me camera dude - hopefully have in time for falmouth...

Here Rob, I feel badly that Mech is bogging you down with questions that can't possibly matter so I've taken the time to answer them.
If you have any questions that can easily be asked the day of the workshop such as "Where will the bathroom be located?" or "Which way should I face when the lesson begins" might I suggest holding them until the appropriate time.
Here Rob, I feel badly that Mech is bogging you down with questions that can't possibly matter so I've taken the time to answer them.
Written by: mech
did you wnat short sticks or staffs or what?
A: Staffs are prefered
can we have some more info on the t-shirts please?
A: Bring a Sharpie and a blank white T shirt and you will leave with a customized Uberstaff TShirt signed by Rob or someone signing Robs Name.
also on the sunday for the timetable, what will be in the THuuuuumbs class?
A: Staff moves involving thumbs. Dumbass.
also how uber techie will the contact be
A: Start at notso ubertechie but there will be some ubertechie stuff thrown in for those who can handle it.
can we have a more detailed lesson plan, its rather hard to decide what classes you wnat to do when you have no idea whats in them
A: It appears to me that the weekend is designed so that everone can take all the classes. The classes are at different times. Why would you miss any classes? And if you do plan on missing some, can't you just decide at that particular moment?
will there be a show by each person at the end of the day to show what they have leared?
A: No.
would that be possible, so you have positive re-enforcment of the days learning?
A: No.

that's what i wanted to say but couldn't get it to sound funny or polite enough
however, i notice that our answers conflict
please correct yours so they match the level of inaccuracy of mine and are at least as vague.

that was not a question.
it was possibly a request.
or most likely, a polite order.
its a small ask since you completely plagerised my post in the first place.
although you did add the original slant of failing to recognise that the first question wasn't even directed at rob.
well done.

But yes, you timestamped the idea first.

No, I mean like a movie of the "incredibly interesting moving of a rebel base to a new planet movie" or the "I built myself an artificial hand in five easy steps" movie.
That kind of I'll just add a new movie in between those two? I don't think it's ever been done, but I would like to think it already has a word. Like interquel... or intraquel

Legit questions maybe dude, but at the end of the day the weekend will be what you/me make it regardless of all the hardcore staffage going on, you want to play with other toys im sure you can, after all you learn at you own rate and your paying remember so you can do "without causing too much disruption to the rest of the class" pretty much what you want
and whats all this your a "tw@", if only you had told me sooner, i wouldnt have bothered going on that course, i could have got tips from you instead

the questions are down to holding two workshops at the same time
to make an informed choise about which workshopto take, you must first knwo more infmation about them other than the name of them, or you might regret taking teh class
i knwo the weekend will be amazing, more over the company and teh teachers than teh lessons
what i meant by other toys, there is a wealth of information in one room and if you have a burning question or a move you need to understand then would it be ok to ask someone about that toy....

The workshop giving people are currently writing descriptions of the workshops which will be released to the public in due course (probably about 10 minutes after the start of the workshop )
So
- it's not all finalised yet
- you'll know in plenty of time (to run out of one workshop into the next screaming "God no! Not my thuuuuuuuuumbs!")
I though intraquel. But now I'm not sure. (it is a googlewhack, though. Jolly good)

not trying to make you the bad guy at all dude.
we were just (humourously) pointing out that possibly some of your questions seemed a little bit surplus to requirements.
like:
if you'd said "i can't decide if i want to do workshop a or b because they are on at the same time. will we get any more details before the day?" we probably wouldn't have been so facetious.

based on current info
the either/or options tend to be rather different options.
e.g. throw vs contact
So I imagine this is intended to cater for the variety of styles people tend to favour. I am guessing that you're prolly someone who wants to know everything... or doesn't want to miss out (I would then suggest pestering the teachers in the breaks mentioned, somewhere else). Or talk to people who went to the other options... and force them to befriend you and teach you what they have learnt
Also with regard to HOW ubertechy/tricky/whatever-y... I'd imagine, as NYC suggests, a range... but judging by the list of teachers there... they'll have something to challenge you in whatever your choice/ability.
