I recommend this event to anyone who can make it. The instructors are fine folk (even that beastly Steaphen Fick fellow) with good things to teach...and it's probably the closest symposium to the northwest until 4W in 2008. If I hadn't already made plans to be in Venice for Carnivale, I'd be there myself. -William

I totally agree with William, and reccomend that anyone who can make it to this should go. Course, personally I think it would have been nice if some of the other Schools in the area could have been given a heads up that this was going to occur, in order to make scheduling a tiny bit easier. We were originally intending to bring someone up to teach a seminar that same weekend, and obviously not a good idea now. Luckily we had not officially confirmed on date, so easy enough to move elsewhere. I am glad to see that there are a couple of people teaching at this event that I refer to as the "Second Gen" wave of Instructors in the WMA Community, along with the best of the best from the "First Gen". I am looking forward to this being something seen consistently at more seminars going forward. Cheers!
