John Barresi Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Hi all, Just thought I'd share this link around... 7a1b60dea6e9d2694cc4f4448fb06d7b Please, please add your thoughts there - DO NOT waste them here, let's keep it all in one big room. If you're not on Facebook, I understand... But, it does offer the largest audience (by far) and is a good place to start change. Speak your truth! 1 Quote

photomom Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Nick, we are friends. Just not on FB. If we weren't friends, I wouldn't put up with your banter. LOL 1 Quote
Reef Runner Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Just ribbing...........just ribbing Quote
mystainedskin Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I don't think you have to be on facebook to view it. I could be wrong. Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I highly suggest everyone join!! I did several years back, after realizing that I was missing a lot of info posted over there, not here or on the Rev forum!! Gotta manage yourself - it can be a time drain for sure, but so much info!! I invite you to partake!! Quote
tkrinor Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Just cannot do the FB thing I could have sent $40 (or so) to join AKA and saved a couple of hundred bucks over the last year (in hindsight), with the AKA discount. But I would have been joining for the discount, not the membership or what AKA may offer. I was told about event insurance. I appreciate that may be case, but at the time it was not worth filling out an application, sending $ etc. I never thought I would buy multiple kites and the discount would have been beneficial to me down the road. The discount needs to be instant gratification. Seize the emotion of a new kite purchase…that is just the society we live in. I reviewed the mag looking for inspiration, sorry just not there. Looks like the scout’s Boy’s Life from decades ago. I could have attended the AKA event in Seaside. I researched the AKA website, old vids etc. It did not seem fun, interactive. I felt it was pretty much just for the competitors. I wanted to fly, be entertained or interact.. not just watch the competitor clique. I could not find the inspiration to warrant the drive. I really wanted to attend…just could not justify it. As a newby, I don’t understand what the AKA can do for me. I respect the history, but I am not part of that. I wanted a reason to join but could not find it. AKA feels like the museum in Long Beach, I appreciate it, but it is history. What can it do for me…I can buy trinkets in the gift shop. T really not trying to be negative...just honest about it. 1 Quote

It's much better here anyway. Quote
--Pete Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Have you tried sending John a 'friend request' on FB? I seriously doubt that he would refuse, especially if you noted that you are 'photomom' in the forum. I expect that would be true for all members here who are also on FB. I would accept any friend request from someone who said in the accompanying message that they were 'so-and-so' on KiteLife. Quote
photomom Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 I PMed him here with my thoughts. As I have been flamed in the past for expressing my opinions, it's probably better this way. John understands. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Posted January 26, 2014 I certainly do, all good! Still, I would like to be your friend on FB. Quote

makatakam Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Hang on a moment, I need to grab my waders and a kleenex. However, my kites do fly better when he's around. I believe it's called stepping up to the challenge. 3 Quote

That's about one of the best compliments I could get, imho - I love hanging out with folks who raise my bar too. 3 Quote
