sure, on thurstday i have to teach so maybe i can´t and on saturday evening i got a gig but since the gig is very very close to düsseldorf this won´t be a big problem i just can´t join in the evening. i´m looking forward to it and hope many people will join!

since the workshop is very close to where i live i thought i could bring the malletkat with me for some of the attendends to check out if anyone is intrested...

Of course Marie. I´ve got the intention to go. I have only to confirm I won´t have Music History III exam on these days. If I confirm that be sure I´ll stay there.

Yeah!!!

We still have time to plan details, but maybe Matthias could give us a few more info like:
- Link to the Intercity train site from Dusseldorf Main Station to Wuppertal Barmen?
- How far is the school from the station?
- What about the hotels from the school?
Anyway thanks a lot for making this possible!! :o)

No fun... And Emily and Vid are the same...

Dim and Jordi said they are trying...
We have Tarik and normally Israel who should be there too.

Anyone else has info on their plan? That would help, even if they are only plans! Thanks!

I can't make it to the workshops, but I'd surely would like to catch up with some old friends and teachers there.
