It seems like a good plan, only problem I can see is the various time differences, some of us need sleep he he!
Are we just all going to meet online at a certain time, if so send me your MSN details and I will forward them on to all recent posters and members with a good post count with the times for the meet.
How about everyone who wants to get involved create a MSN Group on their messenger and call it FLAIRSCHOOL.
Lets make this work.

Where do you practice your flair?
In my room, on the top floor, annoying the hell out of all my housemates.
Move im most proud of landing:
More of a sequence, but i pulled it off perfectly earlier today for the first time, all it needs now is consistency, fluidness (is that a word), and to be able to do it with glass bottles.
ok so the move was....
tin in my left hand, bottle in right hand, normal pour grip. spin the bottle to your left, catch it in an inverse catch with the same hand, then throw tin from left hand under your right arm, and catch in left hand again, do a round the world, but put tin in right hand while bottles in air, and catch the neck of the bottle in the same hand the tin is in, then move to an inverted shadow pass with the bottle, then behind the back throw the bottle from left to right to nestle in tin on your right hand. after this, a behind head catch the tin and nestled bottle with your left hand, bring it round your left side, take the bottle out of the tin with right hand now, do a round the world and catch the bottle in the tin in your left hand.
i dont know if that's easy to understand, i did record it but the lighting in my room is awful and a camera phone is not great to pick up fast flair spining moves to be honest.
Anyway, i was pretty proud of this, as it's the first decent sequence i've ever pulled off and thought up myself, in as far as linking the moves i most liked to do together.
finally my moves are starting to come together and using the 10 try rule my practicing is becoming much better and consistent. give it a few weeks and these tricks will become second nature to me and il be learning new tricks and sequences to link the moves! i cant wait.

Favourite Flair Move?
I don't really have a favourite Flair move as I'm still trying all different things, my favourite type/style of move is the object manipulation, moves where the objects don't really leave the hands, basically fast slight of hand tricks.
My favourite to perform at the moment are multi pours, still working on them though ;D
Favourite Drink to make?
Margarita's and Sour drinks. Bascially because people can't get these anywhere else in my town, I am one of the only people who makes them from scratch and in my opinion well. So in my own way I feel Im educating people without boring them with endless knowledge about products they don't care about, Im not knocking product knowledge I just know that my clientelle aren't that type of person and I think its more important to know your customer than to know the address of the vinyard in where ever that produces the citrus fruits for your Triple Sec.
Favourite Drink to have?
It depends on where I am and what mood Im in. Im a Spirit mixer drinker while Im out since its the one thing I think even the worst bartender can't get wrong. im a big fan of Jose Cuervo Gold, Cranberry and a Wedge of Lime. Although Im a Huge fan of Stella Artois, but will only drink it in selected places where I know the Cellar man or Boss drinks it. For obvious reasons.
Favourite Flairtender?
I love Nicholas StJean's Fluidity and style. Its something I could watch all day long.
Place I practice?
I tend to practice in my garden whenever the weather permits. Usually when its slow i practice a few bits at work, nothing new usually just tidying up moves.
How often do you practice?
Not enough if Im going to compete this year I plan to put in around 6-8 hours a week outside of work
What was the latest Flair related item you bought?
A new t-shirt from ExtremeFlairWear.com. But I'm collating a massive order for Barproducts (its in the region of £200) ;D;D ;D
Have you had any formal Flair training? (i.e. TGI's, Shaker etc.)
Nope completely self taught, with video aids i might add. Not that Im bragging that my style is totally different and something thats never been seen before its just that I SUCK, but it doen't stop me doing it, it pushes me to wipe smiles off faces ;D
