galapagos~kids! founds the first ever DUMBO Kite Flying Society! (*That's the City Park at the foot of Main Street, not the State Park, the State Park has rules and they won't let you fly a kite. We told them to go fly a kite.) Don't ask our members the secrets to building the world's best kites. We think most of them will be under ten years old and might be flying their first kite, and besides, no one's telling. If we told you, you'd miss the fun. Besides we're not founding the grandest society to ever plaster itself across the DUMBO sky for nothing. Introducing: the DUMBO Kite Flying Society. DKFS members arise on the first Saturday morning of every month to ascend and soar between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, glide over the East River, and vie for the titles of biggest kite, smallest kite, worst kite, longest flying kite and most improved kite. DKFS members salute innovative kite engineers of all skills provided they possess the will and fortitude of kite fliers who have come before; such as Alexander Graham Bell, Benjamin Franklin, the Wright Brothers, and Submarine Spies, mariners who lofted antennas into the sky to talk to the folks back home. Second only to birds (poor Icarus!), kites were the first inspiration to explore reality of lifting man into the sky. Come fly a kite! Starter kites provided! Certificate of membership and kite flying licenses will be issued, by us.
