<p><strong>UPDATE: </strong>There was a promo video to watch but it appears to
have been taken down.</p>
<p>So it&rsquo;s been a while since I updated anything on here. I have a number
of balls to juggle, but right now have to juggle the finances more than I have
to write. But something important is happening in Poland in December, and
that&rsquo;s the IDA World Championships.</p>
<p><span id="more-213"></span>And a small heads up ahead of the actually
announcement &ndash; skratchworx and skratchdjs is involved with Ebsel and Pro X
Fade in a combined IDA technical final/Roc Raida benefit happening 3rd December
in London. If you win, you&rsquo;ll be flown to Poland to represent the UK at
the world final. Obviously, you&rsquo;ll need a passport and to be able to leave
the country within days of the UK final.</p>
<p>If you think you&rsquo;re all that and ready to take on the world&rsquo;s
best, get your name <a href="mailto:contact@skratchworx.com">into me</a> right
away.&nbsp;But be warned &ndash; a video entry will probably be required. There
are only so many places in the final and we&rsquo;ll be having a public
vote.</p>
<p>More on this when I have it in a few days.</p></td>
