Hi Janel,
Unfortunately that's easier said than done. I live in Houston and have two young children at home so it's hard for me to leave for a week! I did try to get to his July 26th workshop in NYC but the dormitory was full which meant I would have been taking the subway to and from the class to a hotel somewhere (and the school had NO recommendations at all about where to stay), the plane ticket was expensive and my dad ended up in the hospital that week so I really needed to be here. Had I been there I would have had to leave in the middle of the workshop.
I have heard so many great things about Marvin's workshop, that's why I tried to make arrangements to go. There is still hope for next summer though. It would just be easier to get away when the kids are in school during the school year, but he doesn't teach his week long workshops during the school year, he's busy teaching his regular classes.
I certainly don't mean to whine
but I need to get this figured out, even if I am able to get to one of his classes in the summer of 2005 that's still a year away.
Thanks,
Joan
