Bennett, that sounds like a great activity for the TSA Convention if
and when you have the time to do it.

This Bexar Grotto meeting, Bennett is doing
  an encore presentation of his much sought-after knot workshop,
  but this presentation focuses exclusively on the figure 8 and
  its variations, like figure 8 on a bight, double figure 8,
  directional figure 8, and figure 9.  If you know your knots,
  here is a great opportunity to show off and teach others in
  the process.  If you don't know your knots, here's a great
  opportunity to learn.  We'll teach you how to identify the
  figure 8 and its variants, how to tie them yourself, and when
  and where to use them.  This workshop is a great precursor for
  those wanting to get into vertical caving, so be sure to join
  us!
 
Practice rope will be provided, but
  quantities are limited, so if you have a 10-foot piece of
  climbing rope or thick accessory cord, please bring it.
