Illinois Kite Enthusiasts

Welcome to the club - hope to see you at the retreat!

Bill, the IKE Retreat is something we do once a year for the club to get together and fly on the beach for a weekend. No festival or anything, just us having fun. The Dunes are a great place to fly, and, as TMadz said, it won't be very crowded in late September so we have lots of space.

I'm putting it on my calendar -- looking forward to it!

Has everyone got their votes in?

The New York Times published a little video today of fighter kites in Brazil.

What a great Easter tradition! Welcome to the club, Thunderstick :)

Hope your recovery continues well and we see you at a festival flying your rev soon!

Not enough anchor . . .

Fast forward to about 1:20 if you want to see what happens . . . . .

Woah
Thank goodness they were filming!

A New York minute is fast, right? Like, "I'll have that ready for you in a New York minute"?

@Dad - thanks!
@Kitevoice - yes!

We're performing Saturday afternoon in Evanston and Sunday evening in Chicago if anyone in the area wants to hear some fairly weird choir music (http://cantatechicago.org/current-program/)

I have a choir concert, but enjoy the "warm" weather!

I still like #6 best as well. I think it works well with the grey panels. I like the asymmetry in our current kites, but the asymmetrical ones in NYM just look kind of lopsided somehow.

I like #3 the best, I think. I didn't notice the mini-rev until you pointed it out!

They all look a little busy compared to our current kites, though. Here's a few more ideas:

#5:

#6:

I think I'm partial to #6 at the moment, even though it's plain.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hi!

We can meet later, just let us know.

I'm a big Dixit fan!
