Hi Kelvin,

A fantastic offer from the SIFU himself.

I apologise for being the hopelessly undecided and can I jump in last minute if possible?

Thanks and really want to make it.

Andrew

Andrew, you know you can always count on me to share anytime you're in town

takashi78 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 05, 2011, 10:06:52 PM »

Andrew, since you know Kelvin you can just call him if you are free on that day.
As we only disclose the actual location by PM to those who is attending.

lanatir · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:02:54 PM »

the event is about flashwork primarily. the items that you mentioned will be unable to perform accordingly as you will be unable to control the direction of the flash.
