A view from the Riverwalk, San Antonio

More of the Riverwalk, San Antonio

Even more of the Riverwalk

These boots were not made for walking....

I don't think even Texans are big enough for these boots.

The Japanese tea garden in San Antonio

The Alamo. A small, unimportant, ugly building in the middle of San Antonio. I don't know why they haven't torn it down and built some shopping mall there instead ;-)

From the 558 party (parties?) and the neighbouring area

	Ivan the Crazy, sitting next to Jillda
	Alan Drysdale, Mike Burke, Mike Bartman and Susi Bartman enjoying a cold one on Friday afternoon.
	Some more partying on 558. The perps are Wendyandjim, Alan, Janet, Jun and some unknown legs....
	The reason we got thrown out of 558? From left to right we have Jill(da)'s foot, Alan, Ivan, Susi and Mike Bartman's arm
	mle - For the next minute or so she was totally blinded. :-)
	The late nite show with the Austinites
	Although we were thrown out of 558, we didn't let that dampen the mood. We just went outside and bothered all of the hotel instead of just the neighbouring rooms
	Me 'n my babes.

Practice Pictures

	Lee, speaking a little bit before the first practice.
	Presentation round during the first practice.
	Mike Burke and Bill Haskett
	Although the line on the wall behind them says 108 ft, I don't believe Tim threw Jun that far.
	As one can see from this picture, Ivan is desperatly trying to get eyecontact with Emily, but it seems she's busy tying her shoelaces or something.
	Here we have Wendy checking if Emily is alive. Fortuneatly for Emily, she found a pulse
	Our standard action on the mat picture. Or non-action.... Anyway... Recognizable people are Alan Drysdale, The Sultana, Jill(da) and Ross Robertson
	Chuck Gordon in the foreground, Ivan tossing mle in the middle, Maria DeRosa striking a pose in the background and Josh trying to get into the picture on the right edge.
	This is Wendy being pushed by Ross here in front. The people in the back are: Jillda, Ivan, Craig, mle, Polo, Chuck...
	Ivan, being thrown by Jillda.
	The fabulous five
	Some of the gang from SA
	Lee Escobar, handing over Janet's paintings
	The fearsome five, in unsorted order
	The fearsome five, after being sorted

The Saturday Night Party

	The famous rematch between Polo and Cady
	Here we have an attempt of psychological warfare before the dreaded Aiki Armwrestling (tm)
	Well - I'm sure somebody won....
	Jim (of Wendyandjim) is trying some Brooklyn armwrestling with Cady Stronginthearm. Unfortuneatly it wasn't as successful as Brooklyn Tai Chi.
	The babes. Being open open to people from all kinds of religions, we can here see Maria looking toward Heaven for support, while Emily is trying to get some assistance from down below.
	Recognizable people are (left side) ??? , Josh , Ross Robertson (right side) Lynn, mle, Lee, Maria, Wiley, Dave
	The people in front are (right side) Mike "always a quote" Bartman, Susi Bartman. The others are named in the previous picture.
	Hmmm.... I think I give up. Anybody want to name these people?
	Hmmm.... More people I can't remember the name of. (Shame on me) I can spot Tony (being poked in the ear), Tim, Jim, Chuck, Jun, Mike though...
	Mike, Jun, Rocky, Alan?, ???(rest of that side). The other side is: (Starting from right) Craig, Dave?, Tim, Wiley, Tony, ???
	More party pics. By now you ought to be able to name them yourself :-)
	Susi Bartman, Mike Bartman, George Simcox & wife
	Lynn, mle, Lee and Maria
	Hmmm.... Looks like Polo is winning this arm wrestling match....
	Here we have the main motormouth of the day, during the Awards ceremony
	Janet, watching Wendy award someone some weird trophy
	Jun and his Aikido-L Maven trophy.
	Ivan, just after having heard Jim's speach during the awards ceremony.
	Ivan with his diploma. The chick is of course his black belt chick Skyler
