Kites Galore/Picnic at Berkeley's Waterfront
1:00 p.m. - afternoon

Join Jonathon Eros in flying wonderous things in the beachfront sky.  Picnic fare to share will be welcome with your arrival at the Berkeley Marina, for world-class kiting (beginners on up).  Look for leader atop main kiting hill, close to kite vendor & circular parking ring. He'll have hat/vest, and, minimally, spikey balls on 21' pole to help show our rendezvous point.  GPS aficionados may try 37* 52.241' N, 122* 19.128' W, at 72 feet.
Leader has a few cheap kites, and kites will be for sale there (at 37* 52.192í N, 122* 19.168í W, 13 ft).  After we kite to satisfaction, weíll discuss meal or other options further on in Berkeley.  Expect both novices and experienced skyspinners.  Drizzle does not cancel, but light or heavier rain within 3 hours of event does cancel.
DIRECTIONS:    Berkeley Marina is actually called Cezar Chavez Park, and is at western foot of University Avenue.  Exit Hywy 80 at University Ave. and head west, bearing right when the road splits. Or look up the map.
