Todd - 25-3-2013 at 01:31 PM

Sadly I will be unable to attend either WBB or JIBE. My tour starts on April 9th and ends May the 9th. The good news is that I will be attending 3 of the March Madness games with the specialized Samsung Galaxy IV trailer at the colleges. It will be fun however not seeing all you will be hard to do.

rocfighter - 25-3-2013 at 01:38 PM

Not sure on weather I will be there yet. Should have more info after April 8th.

Mainekite - 25-3-2013 at 06:09 PM

I'm booked just not sure who is comming with me yet, might be my son Ben

Mainekite - 25-3-2013 at 06:16 PM

Starting to get in shape. Was out after work today on ogunquit beach, 10 minutes from home. Did 13 miles inn an hour,top speed 31. Felt great to be out. We need more days like this. See everyone soon.

Hey Don, will Jesse be there...?

earth2carl - 26-3-2013 at 05:15 PM

I'd like to go as I'm new to kiting; should I just book the hotel room and show up? What is the cost to attend and when is it payable?

Bladerunner - 26-3-2013 at 05:33 PM

Welcome Earth2carl,

The WBB event is insured by a club called NAPKA. Go to WWW.NAPKA.org and you will see how to sign up. It is $40 for a year so you will be covered for the fall WBB or any other NAPKA event you attend over the year.

Going to a gathering like this is a huge advantage for a beginner. You will get all sorts of advice . See and get to use all kinds of gear without having to buy. You will learn more in a weekend than you would in a year alone. + meet a great bunch of people !

Just a heads up. If you want to get out riding a buggy or board ( and you will ) NAPKA like to see you wearing a helmet. It would be good to bring one along.

shehatesmyhobbies - 26-3-2013 at 05:48 PM

Hey Carl, give me a shout tomorrow or whenever you are available in the next couple of days and I will fill you in on all you need to know. My number is in my sig. Can make it easy for you 3024806008.

flyjump - 26-3-2013 at 06:44 PM

Rich, earth2carl is my friend from college who lives out east. He's a wicked good friend of mine. I hope you guys can teach him everything he needs to know. I'm so glad you are on PKF carl!

earth2carl - 26-3-2013 at 06:53 PM

Thanks guys; 'preciate the info. Rich, I'll definitely call next chance I get.

earth2carl - 26-3-2013 at 06:55 PM

Thanks Adam I hope to see you again soon!

Kober - 26-3-2013 at 09:08 PM

earth2carl

Welcome to PKF ....
... You need to come to WBB ... you will not regret .... As Bladerunner advertise .. you will meet lots of grate people ..... including me.... lol....
.. also there is few members of my crew trying to make it that live around you area .....

bigben91682 - 27-3-2013 at 05:06 AM

I should be there Friday morning, haven't booked yet as there's a slight possibility of a work conflict that won't resolve until the week before - fingers crossed.

bigkid - 27-3-2013 at 10:44 AM

Looks like lots of people are geared up for a great event.
I made reservation and I was deeply sadden when I heard that Sunset Jim wont be able to make the trip.:flaming:
So I have an extra spot if someone wants to split the room with me.(should charge him anyway):P
I will check in on the 23rd and check out on the 28th or the 29th.

How could I forget you? Still 1 empty bed to go.

Woodland - 28-3-2013 at 02:14 PM

It looks like my plans have changed a little bit. My mother-in-law is coming into town that weekend, so my wife won't be joining me. I am still going. That means I am now looking at sharing a room. I am planning on leaving work early Thursday, arriving there that evening and leaving Sunday morning. bigkid, I see you have a spot available. Would you mind if I filled the empty spot? Shoot me a U2U.

Joey

Can some one put up the band...?

skimtwashington - 28-3-2013 at 06:15 PM

they have no $.
But we're not paying them.
Hide your snacks though.....


rocfighter - 29-3-2013 at 05:14 AM

They do sound pretty good. Maybe some one better at the sound controls.

venteux - 29-3-2013 at 09:30 AM

My room is booked, will be there Wednesday evening. Renée is not comming this spring she will be in Vegas that WE. Claude and Manon will be joining me Thursday. We are now NABKA members, Claude is actually the Club#23 representative. See you gang in 26 days has of today.
Stéphane

WELDNGOD - 29-3-2013 at 10:27 AM

It's official..... I am NOT going to WWBB. I am awaiting an MRI on my neck. I have a possible herniated disc pinching a nerve in my cervical spine. I am out of work now. Everyone have fun,be safe! While I'm out of work, I can make more Kokopelli kiters. So put in your order!

Lee - 29-3-2013 at 03:18 PM

Crisi and I will be there

shehatesmyhobbies - 29-3-2013 at 06:44 PM

Donnie, sad to hear you will not be making it! I do hope that your neck gets better sooner than later! Take it easy bro! I will have to give you a call!

shehatesmyhobbies - 6-4-2013 at 05:58 AM

Are we there yet???? Not much longer now. The days are clicking by so fast. Two weeks from now I will be on vacation, getting the rest of my gear ready to go. Can't wait to see everyone there!

silvereaglekiter - 7-4-2013 at 01:55 PM

Odd question do we have any Pin-stripe artist in this talent filled amalgam of enthusiast ???

shehatesmyhobbies - 7-4-2013 at 03:32 PM

I don't know of any!!!

rocfighter - 7-4-2013 at 05:58 PM

Do you want them straight and looking good? If not than I'm your man:lol::moon:

silvereaglekiter - 7-4-2013 at 07:11 PM

they can't look any worst then whats all ready there. The Pin-striping on my dad's cooker need a little help

rocfighter - 8-4-2013 at 01:45 PM

I truly have no talent:crazy:. I just thought it was a funny response:evil: Hopefully you will get some one that knows what they are doing.:bigok:

cheezycheese - 8-4-2013 at 01:54 PM

Dave, what's the word...? Are you coming...??? :Ange09:

rocfighter - 8-4-2013 at 04:03 PM

Funny you should ask this question today.:P:D
I went to the Dr. at the "Hartford Heard Failure Center" (scary damn name Huh?) today for a follow-up of the evil tests I had in Boston a couple weeks ago. And I got some news. Seems every time I have had issues when exercising I have been having heart attacks. It's not all in my head. ( Some of you know there's nothing in there anyway) So I now have a prescription to take for that. But I have to go back to Boston to see an other specialist.:dunno:
But the good news is if these pills work and stop the attacks I can start doing what ever I am physically able to do. No more set in stone restrictions for now. :wee:
So I have to see how I feel in a week and report back to him and go from there.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programing already in progress.:crazy:

ragden - 9-4-2013 at 06:14 AM

Havent made my reservation yet... but I plan to do that soon... Yes, I will be there. Not active on the forums much with the distinct lack of ability to ride recently... But I'll be at Wildwood... And so will the bulgogi...

Quick question... Do you want the platter with the lettuce and rice served with bulgogi on top? Or just a giant plate that you can come and grab whatever you want from? Let me know as it changes what we pick up before hand... Thanks!

edit- Room booked.

ragden - 10-4-2013 at 12:12 PM

I suppose, by the distinct lack I response, that nobody wants bulgogi this time around? Makes packing a far but easier. ;)

cheezycheese - 10-4-2013 at 12:21 PM

I would say that what ever is easier for you guys Mike. I suppose one big tray would be easier for you so you don't have to keep running in and out. But by no means should you attend this or any future events without Bulgogi.
It is your own doing but I think the Bulgogi attendance has over shadowed yours. It's kinda like the Bulgogi is Gladys Knight and you and Sunni are the Pips.... :D
(J/K of course...) :wink2:

shehatesmyhobbies - 10-4-2013 at 12:32 PM

Sorry new hours at work and was out till late last night!!! Which ever way you guys do it is fine with us! As long as I get a little I will be smiling and always greatful! YUMMY! Can't wait!

rocfighter - 10-4-2013 at 04:11 PM

Are you guys going to do some not spicy this year? But don't worry if it is a hassle.

BEC - 10-4-2013 at 05:37 PM

Give me a call tomorrow on my cell phone, leave a message and I will give you a call back when I get a chance.

skimtwashington - 10-4-2013 at 10:03 PM




Mike...I'm interested in trying bulgogi out if you bring it . Plate over plater.

....nobody else... Jenny..anyone...Bueller...?

rocfighter - 11-4-2013 at 02:58 AM

I am hating you both right now:dunno::thumbdown::no::ninja::lol:

ragden - 11-4-2013 at 09:01 AM

Doing one large batch and putting it out on the table is fed easier, but I personally like it on the lettuce and do t mind the run around. Was just surprised at the lack or response initially. :)

I'll talk it over with sunnie and see what she wants to do. Two weeks!!

flyguy0101 - 11-4-2013 at 09:15 AM

mike,
defintely look forward to some bulgogi- thanks for sharing

BEC - 11-4-2013 at 09:24 AM

DITTO for me.... and not to complain, but more then one would be nice with the vultures that seem to come out of the woodwork when you have it on a plate...haha :thumbup:

I always thought Bulgogi was a WBB tradition :bouncy:

snowspider - 15-4-2013 at 09:49 AM

Who's bringing What to the raffle : one like new Naish kite bag good for 5-7m foil , one golf-tee like wind flag 5/15/30 knots. No glow balls this year!

silvereaglekiter - 15-4-2013 at 12:00 PM

Is it jest me or are the last three post all glitched up???
(edit: ) WTH mine did it to:puzzled: :puzzled::puzzled:

rocfighter - 15-4-2013 at 12:03 PM

Yeah there messed up.
Hey I need to make a few more calls but it looks like I may just get to WBB this spring. I will know for sure in a couple days. Any one got a couch to rent??:wee:

shehatesmyhobbies - 15-4-2013 at 12:35 PM

This is a whole new way to look at the pages! I am so confused! Either way, it's almost times my friends! Just over one week away! The next few days will tick away like mad! Can't wait boys and girls, can't wait!

silvereaglekiter - 15-4-2013 at 12:45 PM

pig is ordered :wee: lets buggy

shehatesmyhobbies - 15-4-2013 at 01:06 PM

Just got the call, after some delays on their end, The City of Wildwood has finally approved our Permit, they said it wouldn't be a problem, it just took some time with all the repairs going on over there to get the paper work cycle completed.

I talked to my lady at Wildwood Crest and we have turned in all the paper work for there as well per her request. The COI is in progress and all should be wrapped up before the event begins. The beach project should be finished on Wed next week. Just in time. It will be crazy busy for me on this end making sure that everything is finished up as it should be. I am just glad that with all the stars aligned, we should have access to the entire beach! WHOOP!

shehatesmyhobbies - 15-4-2013 at 01:07 PM

Oh and WHOOOP! I am ready for some PIG! Bring it on!

hiaguy - 15-4-2013 at 01:56 PM

I'm ready for some of that kosher BBQ!

For those of you that haven't done it yet, save Rich some grief and let him spend more time in the buggy...

Get Your NAPKA registration done!

cyclesteel - 17-4-2013 at 09:55 AM

I am going to try to make it out on Friday but I am not sure. It seems like I will never make it out to WBB

We ended up selling our house and buying another one last fall and WBB was the weekend before settlement now
My wife is pregnant :singing: and because of some issues she cannot lift anything over 20 lbs well my 2 ½ year old is around 28 pounds so going away for 3 days is not going to work
and our due date is in October right around the time of the fall WBB. I will make it out there one of these years

You don't live far enough away to have an excuse for not going during the off season... Just post when yer going, and I'm sure some of the "locals" will meet ya there... ;)

kiteplace - 17-4-2013 at 01:34 PM

Going to cancel on the WBB this time.
Will be helping out with the HQ Crew at the OC Maryland Kite Fest.
I will be missing Sunny's cooking.
Have a Great time !

erratic winds - 17-4-2013 at 02:17 PM

Does this thread go crazy after BEC's post on the 11th? it's a jumbled mess from that point on, for me.

Kober - 17-4-2013 at 03:49 PM

Log out to read it ...... log in to post .... lol ...

Can we do pig chase ??? before it end up on grill ???

Why are these last posts messed up aith scrabled layout?

skimtwashington - 17-4-2013 at 04:46 PM


rocfighter - 18-4-2013 at 04:09 AM

I think this screwed up stuff is Bruce's fault. I'm not sure why But it started after his post. So it's his fault.

BEC - 18-4-2013 at 04:25 AM

Sure I see how it's going to be....Like I've always said...If its got tits, tires or a keyboard I will somehow manage to mess it up....However....I'm coming to Wildwood cause I thought that 400 miles was far enough away to not get blamed for stuff...

frankiter - 22-4-2013 at 06:42 AM

My work schedule has just changed, so now I can get to WW for a day or two anyway. WooHoo!
Does anyone have a room or couch to spare for Friday night only? We're staying at the Shalimar?

So, it's time to do the NAPKA registration thing....

markite - 22-4-2013 at 12:59 PM

Okay okay - twist my arm!
Ziggy / Dianne and Mark / Fiona are now booked in to the Shalimar to come this year - a few more Canadians. Howard needs more support from Ontario to back him in the dance off against Québec.

Fiona and I are hoping to get on the road early Wednesday to arrive Wednesday night and Ziggy and Dianne are heading out later wednesday to arrive early thursday.

Mark

Kober - 22-4-2013 at 09:21 PM

Bladerunner - 23-4-2013 at 01:53 PM

Great to here that You , Ziggy and crew are going to make it Mark.

Landed today. :wee:

markite - 23-4-2013 at 02:22 PM

Just packing the car now, might get there by late afternoon tomorrow - get that beer cooled down (or do you want me to bring some Canadian beer?)

frankiter - 23-4-2013 at 03:04 PM

Still looking for a roommate for Friday night only. I can book a room to share, or crash on a couch.

Did I mention first crack at Aunt B cookies?
