While sitting around having a drink, we decided to submit a drawing and an idea to the Redbull Flugtag coming to Chicago. Playing around not really thinking about it, we weren't really expecting to be picked. Until that faithful day I answered the phone...WE'RE IN!! It's been a blast since. After many beers and man hours...ok we're not even close to done, but it is coming alive!!! Stay tuned for a video interview from Mancow's Luvcheese, some more pics and a little special video we are cojuring up. Si Se Puede!!!!

2008 Operation Border Recon
On their flight plan, “Operation Border Recon” have written the phrase “¡Si, se puede!” For those of you who don’t habla, that translates to “Yes, we can!” This boisterous affirmation has already juiced the optimism of Hermilo Hernandez, who expects to fly “all the way to Michigan” inside a huge piñata. Complete with wings and a built-in pilot helmet, the craft celebrates a staple of Latino culture. Although no one on the team has actually ever built a piñata, Hermilo expects that the five extroverts will win over the crowd with their energy.
“We are very social and outgoing people,” Hermilo explains. “We love to party and Red Bull Flugtag means good times and a reason for us to get together.” Of course, the crew of “Operation Border Recon” really don’t need much of an excuse to meet up. Evelin Zavala and Santos Robles plan to get married next year. If while careening toward the unforgiving waters of Lake Michigan, Hermilo finds himself muttering something a little less positive than “¡Si, se puede,” he can always take comfort with his friends. When not assembling mass amounts of papier mache, wire mesh and PVC pipes, Evelin works as a medical assistant.
Come see us and cheer us on at this year's REDBULL FLUGTAG at North Avenue beach on Sept. 6, 2008. Doors open at 10:30!!!!!
