I have taken a few class's from the Eclectic Academy and enjoyed them very much. I learned a lot and had good response from the instructor. I think this is probably a good way to go Mike, it will give you the time to do what you like and very good at.  Some how I feel very privileged to have already taken Curvemeister 101 from the THE curvemeister and Greg, but however this class is taken, It is well worth the time and money.
Good luck with it.

Thanks, Barry.  I've taken one of Sarah's classes and was impressed with the energy she gives to them, and the way the whole class clicks.  This should be an interesting experience.

LOL - good beer in Germany too.  Not to mention Amsterdam.

Speaking of which, next time I'm in Amsterdam let's sit by the canal and have a beer.

Mike,

does it mean you are stopped with teaching in this group each month ?

For now, yes.  The class takes a lot of time, so this will give me more time to fix bugs, do more in the way of marketing, and make more videos for the web page.

Longer term, there will be an intermediate curvemeister class that covers more advanced techniques, with Sara's class as a requirement.

OK, Mike, I signed up for the Eclectic CM 101 class. Now go and debug the copy-channel function! :-)
