Hello, Registration is now open for ISMAC 2008 in Detroit, MI and the tentative
schedule is online!

With 75 classes offered over the course of 4 days, this promises to be an
amazing WMA event. For the list of classes please go to
http://artofcombat.org/public/thespis/Convention/aocflyer.htm

You will find a description of the new format under "Class Format". This year
features 2 “Taster” Tracks and 3 Weapon specific Track for those who want to
focus on Unarmed/Knife, Longsword or Rapier. There will also be lectures in the
evening after dinner on a variety of topics such as Spear & Shield, Odd &
Unusual Weapons, Rocco Bonetti, Swetnam’s Skeletons in the Closet and more.

The new schedule format allows us to have one flat fee for the weekend. If you
choose to take only Taster Track classes then pre-registration is $125 (at the
door is $225). If you choose to focus on one of the weapon specific tracks then
pre-registration is $225 (at the door is $325). The only drawback to this new
structure is that we will have to limit enrollment, so make sure you register
early for the track you want to participate in.Don’t forget to make your
reservations at the Westin at the same time. The promotional rate is only
available until the end of June.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and making new acquaintances in July!
Take care,Jared Kirby
