I wanted to also add that Lam Hoac will be there as well as Richard Synergy (world record kite altitude holder) and Eric Curtis and Ann Sloboda of Boreal Kites <www.gothicdesigns.ca>.

Oh, and I'll be there too!

Book your cheap ticket to Toronto (off-season, after the movie stars have left from the Film Festival) and we'll see you in Toronto!

The cost is probably acceptable but the I'm short with the time available. Working overtime, teaching catechism, 3 kids and a wife, etc,... It would be easier if the festival was before the school starts. Maybe next year.
