NOt to put workds in Erik's mouth but I thought it meant no. Spending 25 minutes on slides doesn't leave much time for discussion. But then I don't know the guy, maybe the presentation is his stronger suit. I'd consider having him back as a speaker next year and just focusing on the Focus group this year. sh --- Sean Murphy <seancmurphy@hotmail.com> wrote:Is this a YES?

Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 11:27:08 -0700 (PDT) This sounds cool, but I would impress on Oliver that these are workshops, not formal presentations, so it's actually OK to spend a few minutes talking about how one "just arranges" the rocks in a particular matter, because much of the workshop is focused on dialog (right?). Also, it's only 45 minutes each session. I think we'll have enough projectors, between the one GWAPA has, Karen's, and Ray Lucas ($10/day?). - Erik On Thu, 28 Oct 2004, Sean Murphy wrote:Reply from Oliver Hy Sean, that ?s bad news I hope that Wilma Duncan and DorothyRimes are be in goodhealth soon. Best wishes from me. I don?t know if I?am the right men for a ?Iwagumi?workshop. Because mystoneworks I only make by my instinct, not by specialrules. This is noteasy to describe it to the participants. But maybe...no I?am sure we find a theme who I can helpyou. Do you wishmore a practical workshop, or is also a lecture possible?I can give a lecture, for example, about my TrainingDay?s in Japan by theADA company from Mr.Amano this year. But for this I needa possibility tomake a Powerpoint-Presentation to show some picturesfrom CD....I thinkthis is will be very interesting for someone who wanttake a look behindthe scenes from Takashi Amano. If you want a practical workshop, I can try to set up aexample tank...withstone?s or something. And can talk about my maintenanceexperience to takecare a planted aquarium. Please let me know your wishes. Best regards, Oliver Any thoughts Sean C.

Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 09:38:33 -0400 Luis's talk focused more on the plantless foreground,not so much onIwagumi. Iwagumi itself has a set of 'rules' that arefollowed.In anycase, I think Sean has asked Oliver already. Ifthat doesn't work outwe'll look at the other options.

A Focus Group focusing on aquascaping would be good, in keeping with the theme of the convention. But wasn't iwagumi part of Luis's presentation last year -- sortoftieing in with Roger's Rocks talk? What about David Lass doing something about melding the tank aquascape into the surroundings or vice versa?I'veonly seen pics and I'm not sure how to describe it. sh --- Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@rightstuffwebsites.com>wrote:I am sorry that Wilma is ill.

Sean is trying to getintouch withOliver Knott to see if he'd be willing to lead aworkshop on 'Iwagumi'.From 4, down to 3, and possibly down to 2. On thebright side - everyonewould be able to attend both workshops.
