    Metropolis

    At the risk of stirring up another hornet's nest...

    who's going to Metropolis in Manchester 12-15th Feb 2010?

    I've just seen that apparently Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace have confirmed.

    Apparently? It's all been confirmed on the website

    I've got a good feeling about this weekend already. It'll be my first one in 8 months so I'm really looking forward to it.

    Re: Metropolis

    I would love to go to this but am fast running out of annual leave. Have already booked Southport and Camber. Would happily go down just for the Saturday and find a hotel in Manchester should that option become available.

    Re: Metropolis

    Just been having a Look at booking and notice there are only 2 Rooms with the full Line up of teaching they have planned does that mean there will be very little freestyle dancing during the day as this will be a deciding factor for some of us????

    Well you have the £60.00 weekend pass option, and can then get your own hotel for Saturday night.

    Jive Addiction used to offer single day options for the WCS weekend and don't now appear to, so they may be moving away from that.

    Also consider that given the central Manchester location, and the ease/speed of access by public transport, it is may well be viable for lots of people taking little or no annual leave.

    Just a thought, but if it's a deciding factor for you, why don't you email or phone JiveAddiction and ask them?
    Possibly a less speedy way to get a response, but you could even PM Johnah?

    Thanks Gav, he PM'd me last night, wasn't sure what his name on the Forum was but been told there will be freestyle from 3pm to 6am in "The Blues Lounge" that helps with the decision making process.

    Oh that's easy, for around 30 crepes:

    • 500 grams of plain flour
    • 1 litre of milk
    • 4 eggs
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter
    • a pinch of salt.


    For variety, you can replace some or all of the milk with beer.

    Try to get a thick, flat bottomed crepe pan. If not an 8 inch (20cm) frying pan will do.

    That's a half day fee of £500 you owe our company DS. Can you forward a billing address please?

    I understand you can get it even cheaper than that if you shop around

    Re: Metropolis

    Is this the original expressionist film, or the remake with a ghastly Queen soundtrack...?
