{EDIT}
Just reread that other thread - forgot he'd gotten sick. Not sure he was going to attend NABX or not actually but kinda think maybe he's not there.
Hope he's feeling better regardless. He's got some amazing skills.

Kieron is there - busy doing lots of video, buggying, talking to people - great to meet up with him, fantastic workmanship. He even brought out his
beautiful kites to be baptized in playa dust. That'll just make him even more keen to do some new projects when he gets home to have clean kites
again.

Man I thought owning all the books,a large tattoo with a sleeve planned made me a fan. Props to the ultimate C&H fan! Thanks for the video
Willard! Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to meet Kieron but seeing his kites in the air was so awesome!
One thing I found amazing with the kites and video is how true to Wattersons work it is. He was and is famous for conveying a great story with
pictures and minimal words to no words. Grade A+++
