    This is not a good year. Marisa is on the verge of receiving her transplant date. It should be very soon. Perhaps if we do make it out there next year, we'll bring a case of hot sauce that can be used for a prize Of course if we do, you're all gonna have to face Irey-sensei in Taikai.

    Scott has already said he will be there this year. Plus with Shimabukuro-sensei as one of the honored judges, no excuse for less than stellar MJER turn-out (umm, except yours, Charles. Hope things work out.) Should be interesting to see the MJER and Mugai go 'head-to-head' in iai kata.

    Yup, I will be there in full capacity. Tony has asked me to judge in the iai-division and I will be demonstrating Yamanouchi-ha MJER iai waza in the demonstration. A few of my guys will be attending as well and competing in the iai and batto waza divisions. I understand there will be Sekiguchi ryu and Suio ryu folks there as well. The waza divisions will be really interesting I think.

    On another note we (ASA Swordworks) will be donating 8 of our tsuba for prizes in the competition. We will also have a table set up with lots of goodies to look at.

    Regards,

    Scott Irey at full capacity? Oughta be interesting, every time I've seen Scott he's always been half incapacitated by my feeding him good booze.

    I hope to be there as well, work conflicts have arisen though and that may interfere with my drinking Dave Neeley's good Scotch Whisky.

    Oh, BTW Scott, Brian Snoody says to give him a call! I ran into him at Kona Kitchen while I was looking for those breath mints you rave about.

    Perhaps he meant fully incapacitated?

    If you're judging iai Scott, we're going to be watching to make sure you don't nod off at the judges table from the hangover!!

    Nodding off at the judges table is a long standing tradition and far be it from me to break with tradition.

    I will have you know that I am never "HALF" incapacitated...I am an "ALL" or nothing kind of guy.

    By the way those breath mints are in the mens room.....

    Neil, I sure hope you make it down. I spoke to Dave Rapaport the other day and he is sending Doug Walker down to run a table and shlep the taikai shirts for him. Let me know if you are comming and i'll arrange for a plce you guys can stay or maybe you want to stay with the roosters. Either way, get down here!

    On another note, I got the staples out of my heel today and now it's three months in the boot cast! I'll be the guy at the taikai in the wheel chair cutting on the run Hey, I just thought of something. I could set a world record from my wheel chair using my wakizashi! Oh wait, some guy did that already.
    Nevermind!

    Picture Tony in a wheelchair, going "huhahahaha Tony!" like Timmy in South Park? I told my girlfriend that and she said, well, never mind what she said, I don't want to get banned for posting it.

    You will need a snappy title, preferably with "Samurai" in it.
    If you can figure out how to add "Ninja" to the title also, sales will double.

    Dave, if Neil can't make it I will be happy to push "Grandma Alvarez" around in her chair and wipe any drool out of her beard if the need should arise
