The 15th Anniversary of Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine China Tour - Drunk Monk - 02-06-2007
June 29th – July 9th, 2007 Beijing – Emei Mountain, Sichuan
Join Kung Fu Tai Chi in celebrating fifteen years of publication with an unprecedented China tour and party! Travel with us to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs. Climb China’s Sacred Emei Mountain and see the Great Buddha at Leshan. We’ll attend the First Emei Mountain Martial Arts Festival where you can watch and compete in forms (traditional and modern) and free sparring. You’ll be able to train with local Emei masters. Plus you’ll get in to the most exclusive masters demonstration ever – our 15th Anniversary banquet party! All of our past Cover Masters have been invited to perform.
We’ll be staying in Four Star Hotels (double occupancy) all the way and indulging in China’s finest cuisine, from Peking duck in Peking (Beijing) to real Szechuan spice in Szechuan (Sichuan). You’ll be escorted by the Kung Fu Tai Chi staff and accompanying the Kung Fu Tai Chi cover masters. And you’ll have access to some very special martial arts celebrations and festivities.

NOTE TO DOOM: As it stands, I will not be on the Beijing portion of the tour. I'll be sent directly to Sichuan beforehand to get things ready. Others will oversee Beijing.
wait a second - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-06-2007
We are going all that way and we are not going to the Shaolin Temple? I cry rip off.
Tempting though. But there will be four days when i don't get to embarass DM in front of his MA fans. And what movie are we making along the way, besides the documentary?
We're probably going to provide an add-on to Shaolin... - Drunk Monk - 02-06-2007
...or to Wudang. Basically, we'd hand you off to another tour group. For Shaolin, it'd be the guide I always work with. He's very good. For Wudang, it'll probably be a long-time advertiser who leads trips out there. We could set you up with that, but you'd have to make it home by yourself.
I'd add that this is a pretty packed tour. It looks rather exhausting really, especially considering that you'll be travelling with a bunch of fit martial arts yahoos who will be running all over like dogs in heat, busting absurd fighting poses all the time, and yelling 'you're lagging' whe you can't keep up. Let me translate for you.

Note: I've left out the part where you're spurting your brains out your butt squatting over the nastiest fecal pit you've ever seen because I don't want to scare you.
When did you become the Wuss King? - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-07-2007
If you don't want me to go, say so. Plus, all that crapping would be good for my weight. You mentioned 4 star hotels. How rough could it be going through China in 4 star hotels? I'm going to need that press pass so I can get out of the bleachers and onto the floor to take the cool shots to put on the website KFMCHINA2007.com

I bet they won't yell at him for lagging because he'll have at least three or four cameras with him and they'll be too busy posing for pictures with Darth Tater.
Pandas! - lady_cranefly - 02-07-2007
Did I mention we are flying China Air? - Drunk Monk - 02-08-2007
The seats on China Air are tight for me. Just warning ya. It will be great if you can really make it, but it may be a tough trip, so I just want you to be mentally prepared for the worst. China can be really wacky.
In all seriousness, I'm very excited about Leshan and the panda reserve. Plus it should be a showing of martial arts like no other. It's far from a free trip for me. I got to work my ass off for this one. It would be easier to pay for the trip by moonlighting flipping burgers. But Emei is the last destination I really want to see in China. It'll be my ninth trip to China, and after it, I'll be very ready to go somewhere else.

Those "special reserve" pandas are s'posed to be tastier than regular pandas...
TAPS - Drunk Monk - 02-16-2007
Maybe you'd rather go with these guys...

I have no idea what that means - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-16-2007
I trained yesterday. I took the dogs up the mini-MtEmei. Death was close at hand.
Plus I already own the domain for this trip: kfmchina2007
I have lost my mind - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-18-2007
Website: the Beginning. Yes I worked all day on it. Yes, my computer killed all the support files. But I was left with this one scrap. Schadenfreude, my ass
KFM in China
Hmm - Haggis Killer - 02-18-2007
I didn't see Darth Tater anywhere.
Patience is a Virtue - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-19-2007
How can you go to China and not bring Darth Tater? Stand by for further updates.
needs a hyperlink back to our site... - Drunk Monk - 02-27-2007
...our KFM site that is. We have downloadable flyers up on there now. More to come...
When did it become about You? - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-27-2007
When we all know it's about me. I got your hyperlinks right here.
