And Lam got a couple Sky Sport Design shirts too. Now that this order finally came, I can make an iQuad t-shirt order Too bad I missed using the $5 coupon code from the last order Anybody have a recent discount code? Thanks! T

Happy Birthday John!!!! I think I'll be getting there too late for dinner tomorrow.....and Saturday is the potluck....maybe one day next week we can do dinner...my treat Happy Birthday! See you tomorrow! Luv ya! T

Bob has a 3-ring binder that he has put together. He has been working on this for a couple years. I remember watching him going around to all the flyers with a tape recorder, during the Lincoln City 2005 World Competition. Wonderful information he has gathered! Plus, he prints out the bios from the Profile site that John has made available for ALL flyers. I hope the flyers go back and update their info occasionally. I think Bob and Robin will be co-announing at WSIKF again this year.

Hey Penny, I already used mine at the Portland event (OOU) the other day and they're awesome!!! Cheers Mario Mario...Hi! I don't believe the Mylar tails that Scotty Weider uses are available any more. I think he said the material is no longer made. I'm answering you here, because maybe Penny and/or someone else may know? T

Hi Doug! I just posted some info over at..... http://www.thekiteshoppe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1728 T

I gave one to John to keep in his bag for his classes he teaches. He likes the size and capabilities of the kite for beginners as well as advanced. It's a great little kite, and very durable. I stock them in The Kite Shoppe. Theresa

Ooooooooooooo.......... getting soooooooooooo close!!! The Shoppe is looking great too...all hung with nostalgia and mementos and great kite stories that Dave has wonderfully written for all the Classics hanging. Lam has been pulling things out right and left and adding to the display. He has made some amazing things! This is going to be soooooooooo much fun!!! I'm already excited about doing it again NEXT YEAR!!! See you all soon!!! T

Fun kite, isn't it! and a little less than that actually.....90 bucks...and if you are an AKA member....take off 9 bucks...... I love watching John having fun with it in his Argentina video. I think it's in the Subscriber's section.

Thanks guys! And a BIG thanks to John for getting it up and running! He's such a great teacher! Now if I can just remember what he told me.....LOL! Anthony...you should be able to break them in this weekend in Ocean City. Have fun! Theresa

Happy Birthday to you all!!! Have fun flying at the festival! I hope it's not raining there, like it is here Lam is doing another kind of flying today Happy Birthday! T

Hi Mario, Yes, there are a couple options for camping I'll e-mail you. T

Thanks John!! Yep, all better now! What a great weekend! (shhhhhh.......we played hookey on the beach today too. The wind was just perfect. Blue sky, sunshine....then Thai and home now, and Lam cooked again. ) I'll be back in The Shoppe tomorrow. Jim and John F., thanks for looking out for me! T

We'll be doing a live 'teaser' show tomorrow morning! KGW Morning Show (channel 8 in the Portland/Vancouver area) will be broadcasting live for 2 hours from the Oxford Club in Vancouver, WA.

Welcome Bob! Have a great time John! T

Not good Yesterday we made kites and the kids colored on them Earlier in the day, the sky was dark and we got poured on big time. But by the time the kids were done making their kites, the sun had come out, the sky was blue and we had a nice breeze. We flew for almost an hour outside in the courtyard. Next week, the kids will talk a walking field trip, first to get ice cream at the Igloo drive-in on the corner, then down the block to The Shoppe for a tour. The next week, Lam will be back from France, and he can take over again. They really enjoy learning how to fly indoors from him. He is soooooooo good with the kids!
