We headed out to the Austin Kite Festival at Zilker Park. It was my first kite festival, and it was pretty much what I expected.  I would have been pleasantly surprised had there been a gladiatorial arena or something unexpectedly cool like that, but it was just kites.

The kites were nice, as far as kites go.  There were a lot of people out there that took kites very seriously and a variety of very self-important “kite clubs” where people mostly stood around scowling at the sky, scowling at the ground, and then scowling at other kite clubs.
