whoot whoot !!! i am taking the week off and will be at almost every session. At least a minimum 4-6 workshops and the rest observing. 1 week intensive with Hirotoshi Saito. The only way you will get on par with that is to go to japan. Except it will cost you a load more. This is where you guys out there can really push the envelope. Even one workshop with Hiro will set up a great tree for your self and you will learn enough to keep you working for the next 2 years till he comes back. And then do it all again!!! OR even one observer session will allow you to see how he sets 6-8 trees. Some say this is more learning than doing a workshop. get on to it brothers and sisters :D :D :D :D :D :D :D sorry i cant stop grinning :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hi all,
It looks like June 29 till July 6 is bonsai week,
I have just arranged to take the week off, sorry Antonio you will be sick of the sight of me because I intend to be there for most sessions.
I have done workshops with Hiro before and cannot speak highly enough.
Well worth a plane ticket for those from other states for a few days of intensive learning.

Regards Gerard
