No, no, it's just that Kajira and Chuck like to mix it up and have different instructors. Who knows, maybe next year I'll be doing another TF workshop. Last year we had 50 swords in the big room, and people came from Australia, Taiwan, Scotland, Canada...it was very cool. I brought 9 loaner swords for those who had trouble travelling w/swords, but most did not. I've travelled various places with my swords, no trouble at all--you have to check them, of course, in a hard case, and allow extra time.

I will definitely be present at Tribalfest this year, even though I won't be teaching a workshop. I love to take workshops from others, and also I'll be performing Saturday at 7:27. And whattaya know, I think I might do sword...

PS I might be willing to get together for a private lesson if someone really wanted to play with swords.
