just checked the site and under "Current Workshops" there is no Poi or Staff.If they can do breakdancing I'm sure we'd fit in if someone wanted to teach.

I'm a woman. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating and not just a LITTLE bit scary.

Ah Bam Bam, you post before me!(And yet again, we are in agreement.)Okay, I would just like to ask if there is anyone London-based who might be thinking about driving a car down there?And what are the chances of a lift?Otherwise, maybe we should think about hiring a people mover and a designated driver? Ideas anyone??C
