Hey everyone,

I'm glad to see there's such great interest in Wildwood - yipee, I can't wait either!!!!!

Ok, as promised, here's the info re the over flow / secondary hotel!

Warmly,

Beatrix

With iQuad not being at Wildwood this year looks like you all will have to step up and show what you have learned over the past year(s) and countless clinics, I have faith in the fact you can hold your own you just don't realize it yet.

Amen.

We might not be as precise BUT we will have the same amount of fun.

my hobbies wax and wane like the moon, I'm thinking of picking astronomy back up again this year since it's been quite a few years since I've done some serious stargazing. That means new telescope (never actually had a decent one to start with) and equipment so I dunno if I'll have money to come down the whole weekend. That said, I'd hate to not see everyone so at the very least I'll be down for a day :)

a mega fly is in the works for sure .. now im going to ask you all this question..WHO SHOULD BE THE CALLER FOR THIS WW MEGA FLY???it can be anyone from the forum that you like.. no joke this is for real.. would love to hear your answers

Ant,

It doesn't matter who calls,

half the folks farther-on down the line don't listen anyway!

Scottie Weider gets along with everybody, he'd get my vote if he shows up.

Everybody can hear Dennis Smith, he's the voice of the Eastern League

Jim Cosca or Steve Santos can handle commands, but neither of 'em wants to be responsible when things get tangled-up.

I can promise, . . . it will NOT be you or me buddy!

Jim, The way you word your post gives the sense that you to will not beach joining us on the beach at WW this year. Is that true?

The caller is not going to be me,

My nickname is "mister two left wings" on the kite-builder circuit!

if I can screw-up the kite with dozens of labor hours on it, imagine how bad I could mess with the calls in team flying.

No, no, your other LEFT!

Yeah but I meant RIGHT and that's what is really important

At this point after just being layed off in Jan I'm going with tentative, The way things are going I might do like last year got 2 B's for the price of fuel alone this year I'm thinking Hotel Gas Food that's roughly 3 pro's :blushing:

You know somethings wrong with you when you value things by "how many kites would that be" :blink:

But we'll see one never knows till the time comes.

Jim-

Gas is half the price of last year, so far. We would LOVE to see you there!!!!!!! Maybe you could come down with Scott. That would cut the cost for both of you.... Just a thought.

I have to agree with the group, Scott gets my vote to call. He did a lot of calling last summer and it worked out really well and I know that quite a few learned a lot from him.

The way I see it (sideways with a little logic)

We have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, & Monday. That is a lot of kite flying.

I don't see why we should be worrying about the calling. My guess is it would be a great chance for people who have never called to watch, learn, discuss & give it a whirl.

Scott can do it and I have flown with Scott a number of times.

Jay has talked me through my earliest team fly attempts (Rockaway 3 years ago- thanks again).

Smitty is a blast when he is calling. (from the left) -shakes things up a bunch but still a great time learning interpretational Smith.

Hell- having Dennis call from the left should be part of Rev Games :) & Yes I know he will be busy at the fest.

Watching Ant call would be like watching a little kid who finally got his balance right, ride a 2 wheeler for the first time. The smile would be bigger than the beach.....the horror...the horror :devil:

I am sure things will fall in to place. Now let the very long countdown begin. I just called the Oceanic and left a message.

I wish we were going this year!!

I've flown on the line with Scotty calling and had a blast. The best part about it.... Scotty's calling is only as fast as his slowest flier and it gives the less experienced fliers a chance to be a part of some really big!!

I vote for Scotty W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's so kind to those of us that have a little trouble keeping up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
