Aeo will ONLY be able to accept 8 (eight) partners (top/bottom) for this event. Due to this, we will offer the 1-8 slots on a first come first serve basis. To ensure fairness, no comments to this post stating you want to be enrolled in the class will be accepted. At the end of this announcement, you will find how to put your partnership on the list. Please register as partners only, no singles. Money will need to be paid by the April munch, which will be on Monday, April 15^th, unless prior arrangements were made. If a partnership in one of the eight slots has not paid by that time, a message will be sent to that partnership, and the next on the list will be offered the slot.

 In Aeo’s words…..

“Intensives are called intensives for a reason. I am a very demanding taskmaster when it comes to practicing tying, and because there is a lot of material packed into one event, I insist on a pretty fun pace.

My practice is to teach five patterns, three of which are my choice, two from the class. We start early, break once for lunch, and tie constantly the rest of the time.

**Participants will need to bring:**

*5 lengths of 26-33ft rope, preferably natural fiber jute or hemp. (Nylon is fine. 100% nylon is best, easy to acquire, and will be fine. The braided nylon/poly rope you can get at Lowes/Home Depot is fine also. My preference for natural fiber rope is purely because it feels better on the skin and it holds the tension a lot better. But pretty much any rope will do.)
*Water/fluids
*Light snack (beef jerky, trail mix, granola bar, etc.)
*A floor mat (if desired)
*Notepad, pen (if desired)
*Small handheld camera (if desired)

**Photo policy:** Shooting Faeryn and myself is fine, please do not post to fetlife without consulting us first. Shooting anyone else (and if anyone else is in the frame) is **subject to your group's policies on photography.** *specific photo policy will be discussed among the group attending*

**Knowledge to have:**

Participants need to have a basic working knowledge of rope. Nothing fancy, but this is not designed for people who are only just picking up rope.

**Knots to know:**

*Boola-boola (yuki knot)
*Standard hitch
*Lark's Head
*Munter Hitch”

If interested in attending this rope intensive, please send an email to myself (sunnys) at: bubukitty13@gmail.com, AND cc the email to nancyhello2002@yahoo.com , with the two names of the attendees, a contact email address (Aeo will be personally emailing each partnership with a complete agenda so will need an email address). By sending emails to enroll, this will prevent any issues with who signed up first etc. due to having a date/time stamp on them. Any questions, please feel free to contact me here or thru the email listed above.

I look forward to all of you rope enthusiasts having a great time!
