  1. :-) You guys all rock! Nicely, the birthday was spent in the company of Rich Comras too, he's out in BC on some work, so we've had a great time the last few days. And all of you out there in the land of revs, what a truly great bunch of people.

    Lolly is right, she's been there for me for many years now, back in 97 when we first met and I spent MANY summers at WSIKF teaching people all day long how to fly revs. And it was Lolly who was always encouraging to try and go further with things. And at the same time, Penny Lingenfelter did much the same, always encouraging me, and always flying the Rev flag for all to see.

    And, some dude named John came along a bit later too, he's had something to do with it I suspect too.

    But, in the end, the result is that I know fantastic people around the world now, rev flyers and other kite flyers and I think of you all as extended family and the birthday wishes here and the deluge on facebook kept a smile on my face all day long. Thanks for that and I look forward to seeing many of you soon!

  2. Kiteparty, as it always has been for me, was simply fantastic.

    Kinda weird being there Friday for the closed beach! Great flying with great people. A special nod to Rich and Laura for stepping into a spot for demos on the Saturday/Sunday! A big hug for TK for being able to carry on despite what was happening in Japan, tremendous strength! A big one for Willow too! It's one thing to be around us all the time with Steve but she came into her own with him away!

    I'm already looking forward to Kiteparty 10 :-)

  3. I'd agree with Felix, 12x12 would be unmanageable, the flyers at the top would have no air and the ones at the bottom would be hugging the ground pretty tightly.

    Still hoping to make it to Berck this year regardless of whether a 100 rev fly can be pulled off, it's an excellent chance for an iQuad 5 year birthday party on the exact beach John and I (some would say foolishly!) figured maybe we could put together a quad team in the Northwest :D

  4. My needs are simple. I'd like a credit card, paid by someone else, that is preloaded with a 5 million United airmiles so I could spend a year going to a different kite festival every weekend around the world.

    Well, you asked. :kid_devlish:

    Have a great Christmas everyone! And a great 2011!
