It should be much warmer there then!! NWBPA is just a bunch of "buggy ninnies", as Brian calls us :-) ,who get together informally but quite often mainly around the beaches in Washington and Oregon. There's probably some where between 20 and 30 of us. Who knows? We don't even have a mailing list yet! But we are AKA afiliated! (Boy, will that ever start a thread!) :-] We'll post here if we ever get a trip together. Right now I'm saving my nickels for El Mirage, in Jan. and Ivanpah, in March. BTW, Peter Lynn, I understand, will be a keynote speaker and teacher at the Fort Worden Kitemaker's Conference in March, just before Ivanpah. Does anyone know if he will be staying for Ivanpah?
