Took the liberty of splitting your post to an indie thread, xck
That way, people need not muddle through last year's thread to get to this year. For LoKF2011, see here.
Unfortunately, I might have a *major* schedule conflict this year. :( I will get it sorted with Sifu Jimmy Wong when I see him at KFTC20. Of course, I hope to be there. If I fail to make it, I hope you'll be able to continue our longstanding tradition without me and post some pix here.
Sadly, I must miss this year
One of my shidi is getting married. We taught an evening class together and were lion dance partners. I spoke to Jimmy Wong at KFTC 20 and he totally understood.
Yea, I'm bummed to have missed it.
I've heard that it was a success from some others that went too.
But I wouldn't have missed that wedding for the world. The bachelor party was the night before and my shidi somehow got the idea that we all wanted to beat him as some sort of hazing (there were several of his kung fu brothers there). So in a drunken frenzy, he got in the center of us and went berserk. We really didn't want to beat him, but we had to oblige. It was his party after all. We promised his bride that there would be no bruises on his face and we kept that promise. So, even though I didn't make it out to Legends, I got a little Kung Fu fix. ;)
