shopteacher Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I like to try and be humble once in a while.... But, that being said, I'm terribly thrilled by that win, easily a high point of my limited comp career. I was smiling the whole way home! Wait, I still am! One other thing that worked well was once we'd established a no boundaries rule, I made a mental note of exactly where I could stand on the floor to pull the Rev over my head and have it stop inches from the judge's noses. ZoooooooooooooSTOP And ya, I'll echo other's remarks and thank everyone involved with the Up The Wind Festival, it was a reeeeeeally great time from start to finish. And as always, the people who were at the fest are second to none. I miss festivals in the winter just because I like the people I get to hang around with. Kite people are good people. I'm marking this fest onto next years calendar for a repeat visit. YUP... it was a blast BTW.... monkey man... it is UP THE RIVER! and YES... we will be on for next year... same bat time, same bat place. with enough encouragement and oportunities... NYRO(stephanie) will fly solo... keep up the good work I am still smiling that I beat JOHN in hot tricks(thanks to ARI's inspiration).... to heck with winning... that tops my hot trick accomplishment list as of yet. the next time I can.. I will make good on my sushi offer.. I am just glad YAMAMOTOSON did not have to be there for my equipment malfunction. what is the [plan for evenings at lincoln city... they are kicking us out at 5-ish right? hmm... that leaves me time to make some more sushi in the land of fish and fun! and yes...KUDOS to all who helped with the festival and all who drove so far to fly in the HONKER DOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I managed to place above John and Penny, which for me is worthy of a huge smile, having wanted to do this for years. the next time I can.. I will make good on my sushi offer.. I am just glad YAMAMOTOSON did not have to be there for my equipment malfunction. what is the [plan for evenings at lincoln city... they are kicking us out at 5-ish right? hmm... that leaves me time to make some more sushi in the land of fish and fun! Alan, what you did make was reeeeeeeeeally good, I had to back away from the plate to keep from devouring it all in mere seconds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousie Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hugs and a big thanks to all that helped make the Up the River fest so much fun. And to the great hospitality of our hosts... ty. I really appreciate all the help and wisdom that I got from all of you. It made it much more fun, and a bit less nervewracking.. ok.. not less nerve wracking.. but lol.. thats just going to take me some getting used to. I had a wonderful time. And, just so I wouldn't forget what I had learned.... I headed to the gym at 5 am this morning .... and by gosh Kyle...

shopteacher Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 OK media FREAKS and FRENZIES as I am told.. this type of media coverage comes easier as the events build in Monday's The Dalles Chronicle The Dalles Chronicle home page monday 2-13 KYLE and his orange and black WREN made the cover above the fold on page 10 (the ENTIRE back page in full color) THREE-3 pictures of JOHN and his VIP, 1 picture of PENNY and her puppet handles, MOUSSIE with her purple kite, a profile of Monkeyboy, and 2 kids learning how to fly UFO's in Sunday's EASTERN OREGONIAN a nice picture of PENNY and her one handed rev...teaching of course not to mention some good radio time on 5 stations in the dalles/hood river area. some minor errors in reporting... still good advertising I read the card again... thanks it was really cool!

BB Penny $10? no... evidently the chronicle web page is a teaser.. not the full article I do not subscribe.. they gave me a few copies last night when I returned their photographers camera bag... he was so impressed by the flying he forgot his lense bag! maybe I could scan the newspaper images and upload for your viewing pleasure... is that illegal? I will ask forgiveness rather than permission. LOL the EO has me launching the big bird... but the caption implies I am landing it (into the hardwood) no matter had a few calls... people didnt know it was on... HEHE DUH it was only everywhere.. but that is how it goes... more people and event coverage next year... got an in on the media in the dalles... and the EO is hooked now. now the big fish... the OREGONIAN or the SEATTLE TIMES-yeah right ALAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Lingenfelter Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Great picture! Good Morning John! Yeah, Monkey, I need to borrow that kite for my Keystone cop routine. You know what, we need more of several people flying at the same on the floor. But not like they like you to do and get everyone out on the floor at the same time. lol Not always fun. Oh, John, I forgot to tell you Steve says you've really improved this last year. Practice tells... doesn't it. He doesn't usually say much, so that was quite a compliment. Man, if you don't crash you win.. and you went for the gusto. We really enjoyed watching it. It's so difficult to capture the fluidity of a kite on film, but the cameraman that took those pictures caught the intensity in your face, as well as the kids excitement. Didn't we all have fun?
