heh, I was gonna check out the Itten Dojo, until I found out it was $80 a month. A little steep for my budget, but I've heard good things

If you want to stop by sometime, I run a wednesday night class. We have an open mat from 6-7:30, and aikido 7:30-9pm. Just give me a headsup.

I'm in as long as at some point food and imbibing of refreshments are involved.

Do we want to start planning a formal gathering? The central PA crowd could concievably car-pool whereever we need to be...

You commonly hear Wilk's Barr. But Budd has the correct pronunciation.

You guys crack me up....actually when I first visited this little part of the world (for college in 1970) I thought the name was Dingle-Berry , but then, I'm originally fron Jersey.

If food and un-soft drinks are an issue, I GUARANTEE< theres a tavern very near here that will cover those issues

NEXT Saturday, 21st of Feb. would be a cool time to travel here. I will have some VERY good grapplers here. They are training my kids, drinking some beer, and charting a course for MMA in NE PA.....
