“Basically we flew over to Vietnam for some stuff we’re working on with Bone. At the same time he had notified people on a Vietnam flourishing forum that “Virtuoso is going to visit Vietnam”, and eventually a event was planned for flourishers all across vietnam. People came down from everywhere, and some even cycled from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh just to be a part of it.

The event started with a lecture of sorts on technique, style and training methods, where I taught people some one card manipulation and my 10 meter boomerang. It was pretty funny, because for every sentence I spoke, Bone had to translate it into Vietnamese… but they were really receptive and appreciative… and it went really well.

Then it followed with a competition which me and Daren had the honour of judging. That was probably the most awesome part… to see how in a short span of a few years, the art has spread to so many around the world, and to see how good so many people have become. It’s actually inspiring… because some of the contestants had only flourished for a few months… but their standard was astounding.

The competition followed with me, Daren, and Bone doing a little impromptu performance together, with the performance ending with a short ‘battle’ between me and Daren. It was so damn fun… and funny. =p

The whole thing ended with an autograph and photo session with the fans and man it was a hell of an experience.
We didn’t expect so many people to turn up to the convention… and the warm greeting that we received from the people in Vietnam was beautiful. =)

So yeah… that’s what I can say about the convention.
I think that the convention meant so much to me and the rest of the Virts because it represents so much more than just a ‘meet up’, but how everything is falling into place beautifully for us and the art… how everything is growing… and how excited we are with everything that’s planned and everything we have to share with everybody. 2009 is going to be very exciting.”

   They said a longer version is coming this week, so it must be soonish :)

   4 hours of HD footage is no small task to edit!
