	eh..  I wouldn't go so far as to say that we're "organized"..  but
we do know each other....  <grin>

Yes, that is one of the best places to mett flyers in the Manhattan/Brooklyn
area.  The guy who sells the kites doesn't organize it, so to speak, but he
is there every single weekend.  Go by, and tell him that Jason told you
to stop by and fly for a while.. You'd be more than welcome.

That little dinky field on the side of the Belt Parkway, has turned out some of
the Nations best competitive kite flyers, so you might want to drop by and meet
Lance Wagner, Dorothy Wagner, Sandy Wagner, Myself, Steve Karatzas, Ming Quock
and sometimes even Dennis Smith will show up...  <g>

Hope to see you there..

Jason
