Illinois Kite Enthusiasts

Which means there's something on it, anyway.

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, a lot of power-kite demos, and lots of fun. I'm planning on being there, and thought there might possibly be a couple of other folks interested.

Also, 7-10 mph winds predicted for Northerly Island on Sunday. In an effort to make this an all-kite weekend for myself, anybody interested in meeting up at NI on Sunday afternoon? It's supposed to be a balmy 34F.

Hey Wnedy,

A bunch of us will be here.

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.

We will!

I am itching to fly. If the temperature and wind are decent, I'm in. If there are only a few of us, we can call before we go.

What time are you thinking?

I'm thinking 11:00-ish to "whenever we're too cold to fly", so we can get the warmest part of the day....

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....

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
