//__**TRIBES**__// Dear ladies and gents; I went to Winters today to register for the Tribes workshop and the guy said I didn't have to pay the cash until the first day of the workshop (Nov. 8th). So when you go to Winters to register you don't need to carry the cash there, just thought you should know. Anyone else interested in going? It is an expense but I want a job when I graduate and thought this would be a good thing on a resume even if it eats up my money and four weekends...
