Illinois Kite Enthusiasts

So, when are we getting the final report?? You guys have been home a whole day already...

Ross, thanks for setting up the streaming feed - it was fantastic.

Details, people, details!

I am beginning to think it's ME.

Seriously, though, too much rain going on lately. I may end up out in Glenview or Vernon Hills later today, if the rain stops long enough, but I'm not optimistic about it.

Definitely KP9!!

We are up and running on our live video Huntington Beach live web cam... So click on: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/hbkp2010 and let us know how it comes in for you... We'll leave it run live for a few hours hoping to hear back from some of you! If all is well, we'll start the live stream for Kite ...

Sounds like fun to me. Provided all this lovely spring rain can manage to leave us alone for a weekend.

-Wendy

Yeah, tomorrow is looking pretty wet on the forecast. You guys wanna shoot for next weekend? (I'm booked solid today until after sundown so no flying for me... my job is seriously interfering with my flying time.)

-Wendy

I hadn't really thought about where. Before we were talking Northerly Island; I'm still up for that if everybody is cool with it. I'm really flexible as to location, though, because I REALLY want to fly. *grin*

-Wendy

Hi all,

I know it's only Monday, but as of right now the weekend is looking gorgeous - mid-40s and winds from 5-15 mph. Anybody up for a fly one of those days?



-Wendy

I've got a work thing that may be a problem tomorrow - if I can finish before too late, I'd still be able to make it, but it's not looking good.

John, if you guys decide to go, still give me a call; I'll see if I can break away then. But it's very iffy at this point.

Thanks,
-Wendy

I'm thinking 11:00-ish to "whenever we're too cold to fly", so we can get the warmest part of the day.... 8) If you haven't heard from me before you head out, give me a call, and I'll do the same (well, I'll call you, not myself). Not enough kite flying is making my brain hurt.... :P -Wendy

And I just spent the last 10 minutes looking for cheap flights to the southwest... man, that sky is beautiful. *sigh* And what's your weather like out there?? 8) Thanks for the pic - I was having trouble visualizing what they meant by the gray. I didn't realize they'd retired the gold, though. :( I'...

Man, I missed that one - I vaguely recall hearing about it, but I didn't realize when it was. Oh well. Happens a lot now that I'm getting old...

You guys have fun in Iowa.

-Wendy

I went with a B-series for my first, and I don't regret it...

On the topic of 2010 B-series, I haven't been able to find any pics of the new color choices. Can anybody link me to them?

Thanks,
-Wendy

Which means there's something on it, anyway. :P This coming Saturday (Feb 20) a bunch of folks up in Madison are having the Madtown Snowkite Gathering (http://mb.kiteridersllc.com/viewtopic.php?t=1486), wind permitting. The video from last year was spectacular. They had a ton of board-and-ski types,...

Congratulations Jeff!!!

about the quack... I was awake because the cat and dog where being a pain... but that is not too uncommon for them since I get up that early and feed them when I am working. didn't feel anything but in retrospect I suspect they did My cats woke me up, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong with t...

I'm sorry I missed out on the fly on Jan 1. I've been really sick - I'm hoping this means I've used up my misfortune for the year.

Glad to hear it went well. I'll put it on my calendar for next year.

-Wendy

I'm going to head to either Glenview or Vernon Hills this afternoon, if any of you guys are interested in gathering. I'll be leaving my place at noon - if no one else posts about this, I'll drive by Glenview first (my first choice), then go to VH if Glenview is overrun with soccer players... :) -Wendy

Great idea, Isaac. Count me in.

-Wendy

I'm in. :)

-Wendy

Well, I'm out, too.

My friend (and VP) is in the hospital, so I'm going to work this weekend to cover her work (and try and catch up on my own). *sigh* Good luck on the weather; I hope the festival goes well.
