Viv,

Woody Mayhew, an American I much respect who sells unnawata photog
stuff in the States, goes to Anilao _every_ year in about April. I'm
supposed to have caught up with him there for, oh, years now and never
have (entirely my fault).

Maybe we should make it a miniNEDfest as well as a mini u/w photog
forum fest.

Only problem is that I would _definitely_ go on that one. *:-o

Woody usually stays at, is it Club Anilao?, its Club something, run by
a Philippino called Boy something or other (its been a while and the
memory gets more ancient with each day). BTW, for those who may be
unaware, Boy is a reasonably common name there.

D'you know where I mean Bjorn?

Cheers,

Christian
