Zilker Park Kite Festival

Pre-Festival kite-making at Jan's on Friday
Was assigned to the design team
JFoo and Angela's art
Final product! Click for full effect.
I've been drawing the same thing since Sec 1. How's that for artistic stagnation?
Sunday was Kite Day! It was also the windiest day I have ever experienced in Austin. How could the organizers have known that? Thousands of people and kites descended upon Zilker Park (well, the kites mostly ascended, but whatever) and we were there to get a piece of the action. Even though none of our home-made kites really flew, and we were constant in danger of being sliced, strangled or whacked in the head by errant kites, I still had fun.

Jan and Paul's ugly but relatively effective garbage bag creation
We 'stole' the red and yellow one
Let's hope Daph doesn't kill me for this
SuperNerd!
This dog kept getting tangled in/chewing on other people's kite strings
Poor impaled kites
Kirsten and our patriotic kite which wouldn't fly
Hoops and hair
Oh baby, though you didn't make it very far in the air...
... I still love you!
