Jim Martin, AKA, WACKOS, GKPI's "Metro New York Balloon & Music Festival 2008" album http://public.fotki.com/JMartJr/mega_flag_albums/metro-new-york-ball/ The Mega Flag goes to Long Island, along with a big show of giant kites. There are pictures of balloons, and the crew -- and of other kites we flew as well as the Mega Flag, which may give some idea of the kite show we can build around the Big Guy.
