Just an FYI folks, confirmed... I will be in Quebec next weekend, Internet access is unknown, possible I won't have any.

Back in the office on the morning of 6/22, feel free to remind me as it comes near. :)

Thanks all!

OK John, I am trying to be serious for a moment.

Can you PLEASE close the Kitelife Subscriptions down, each time you put one of these great Prize Kites up there just seem to be more members, that cuts down my chance of winning.

Hope you have a good time, you just know we wont be pestering you at all if you are late :) .

Just as soon as you have the time John, that would be great. :)

Suppose I could always take another subscription, just to even my chances out. :clap;

Looks a neat kite BTW. Not sure I can manage to stuff another one in my bag though.

Alright, back in the office after a big fiasco coming from Quebec... Air Canada canceled two flights in a row, the leg from Vancouver to Portland.

In the saddle again, how about we draw a winner?!?!?! :clap;




From our loyal supporters, this beauty goes to subscriber #98 (signed up back in 2004)...

Hearty congrats go to Wayne Fu, winner of a brand new 1999 HQ Obsession! :P





Next prize comes up fast, June 25th... I'll be in Lincoln City that day, will actually draw on the 28th.

Thanks guys, this is fun! :)
