Hi folks,

Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching and it will be here before we know it! J

The purpose of this email is to see if any of you have an interest in presenting a workshop at this year’s event. The workshop schedule is about one half full and in the spirit of providing a robust set of workshops, it would be wonderful if you are interested.

Morning workshops are geared to kite flyers and afternoon workshops are geared towards families/new blood. Workshops are being offered both indoors in the Wildwoods Convention Center and on the field.

If you are interested, kindly email me with your interest and what you might like to present, I am certainly open to suggestions!

Thanks very much everyone and I look forward to hearing from some of you!

Warm regards,

Beatrix

Ooooooh! Wildwood's Ocean & Rio Grande is on Google Street View now...

Even seeing the empty lot where the Rio used to be via Street View seems kind of depressing. It was a pretty mediocre motel...but it was OUR mediocre motel! I miss it...

I never had a chance to stay there but always thought the architecture of that place was verrrrrry cool! So Sad that island demolished so many cool places (including the motel my family used to stay at when I was kid).

This is kind of cool...found this neat video done by Alive Archives. A Wildwood retrospective on sport kiting that goes from 1986-2003. It's kind of dualie centric, but it's interesting to watch the sport evolve. At the halfway mark is the introduction of this silly lookin thing called a Revolution! Hehehe! Lee Sedgewick is all over this vid (and other kiting luminaries), and I'm wondering if that's JB toward the end? If you have 28 minutes to spare, I think you'll enjoy this!

ps. I think iQuad should bring back some of those old acrobatic moves! What do you think?! ;D

Very interesting video there and a lot of familiar faces.

I'm really excited for Wildwood too because that's a 3-day weekend for me :)

Has anybody signed up for the banquet yet? I keep forgetting to send in my form and money. I'm excited about the super hero theme. THe banquet is always fun, Beatrix does a really nice job with everything.

@sammy

There is always a hotel room in Wildwood. The question is ones for the discount kite fest rate. I seem to remember the oceanic did not have any special rooms left. But I don't know about the overflow hotel.

I am sure more will chime in or PM you.

Good Luck/

Well, I pre-registered by email. At least I think I did. I sent the completed form as an attachment. I hope that was OK. There was nothing on the form about registering electronically, but I thought I'ld go ahead and try. I'll be entering the indoor comp. Never tried competing before. Looking for friendly supportive good time.
