I don't want to add to the pile of group emails circulating, but just wanted to say that I support the academy.  Sometimes we all need to be reminded just how dreary life would be without things like capoeira and our school.

I really do believe this academy is a unique and shining jewel in the Sacramento area, and we are lucky to have something like this so closeby.

I gladly pay my tuition, and for that very reasonable fee I have something to look forward to on all my days off.   In comparison, i have spent that same amount on, and gotten much less enjoyment from:

1) 7 beers in NYC
2) 2 bad haircuts
3) 1/3 of a board exam "study guide"
4) 16 pints of Ben and Jerry's (actually the enjoyment factor is pretty close but capoeira is clearly hella better for me)

Just for perspective, argentine tango festivals-- which include demonstrations and workshops and milongas (the equivalent of our rodas)-- can easily cost twice as much.

I think we should all do our best to support something which adds so much to what sometimes can be a mundane daily existence.
