Nothing too crucial, but this sounds awfully cool:
FlyNY, in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, is an international design competition open to the design community: designers, architects, engineers, artists, students and children.
How it works:1) Register: www.flyny.org
2) DESIGN A KITE with friends, co-workers, students, kite-fanatics
3) FLY your kite on Saturday, May 9th, 11AM, on Pier I over the Hudson River
4) Win COOL prizes!
