Very nice!   Some cool creations in there.  Hope I can make it some year . . . . have to get an indoor first . . . . and then learn to fly it . . . . 

You'll just be looking at your kite and the kites right around you. 

Except when you get distracted and forget which one is yours . . . ooooh . . . . look at all the pretty kites . . . . Happened to me this year at TI when we had about 17 revs just doing follows and pez and other random stuff . . . . "hey, what are those kites at the other end doing and they should join or get out of the way" followed by "hey, who is the idiot messing up the line" . . . followed by "oops, that would be me."  Don't worry, have fun.  You will have fun.  Hang out, fly revs.  Join the big groups.  It's all good.  No, seriously, it is really all good.  

Actually, it's probably easier to focus when you are brand new as you are so worried about messing up that you really pay attention to your own kite, plus you've been flying all day without taking a bio break . . . so you are more "focused" as a result.  And the rest of us don't care if you mess up - we've all been there and will be there again.

Keep flying, have fun.  See you at WSIKF!  

Have fun, and welcome to the dark side.  As Madquad said, careful . . this is an addictive sport.  I started with just one free lesson, that lesson has turned into quite an obsession.  Keep some room in your kite budget, you'll always need . . . just one more.

Slight change of plans, contract work became available.  Now going to be arriving Saturday afternoon.  Not sure if I'll get to fly Sunday or not.

Major sign of complete addiction - the "don't tell the wife" trick!! Hope they're all the same color combo, so she can't tell the difference between models!!  

Yep, and other tricks like shipping kites to work or to a friend's house . . . or saying that it's not new, it was out for a repair.

Actually, I find it's much easier if my wife knows before the long skinny box arrives on the front step.  My "office" is now at home . . . at least until I get some work related issues resolved.  That tends to put a damper on the kite buying activities, and an increase in kite selling activities . . . .
