So my last blog was a rush job, in my haste and excitement I left things unchecked by spellers and posted on the fly.If you read the last blog of mine you know that I was so excited because one of my hero's in the ballooning world was so close I had to drive over and see him.
This is his site.
http://www.busterballoon.com/BusterBalloon.com/Home.html
I drove down hoping to have a good time and ended up having a brilliant time with some of the worlds top balloon guys and gals.At least 3 of the people there were prior multi award winners for balloons Ed Che, Don Caldwell AkA BusterBalloon, and Jeremy Johnson, as well as a good 12-15 other twisters from beginners to pros, more pros than anything haha.
J.P. the organizing force behind this monthly "Jam" ended up being one of the two real hero's to me that night, along with Roger Pops, Jeremy Johnson's dad.These two guys impressed me with their friendliness and just two of the greatest guys I've meet in some time for sure.(I went up loving Dons work and came back loving these two)Roger is the man that did the awesome caricature of me.
Saw some great balloons, some really cool magic and had a great time for sure. Maybe this time when I call Psyionic_reaver he will answer haha.
The awaited pics.
Don is hungry for choco bunnies!!!

me Working on some balloons (the whole time Roger unknown to me was drawing me. I did catch him staring at me a few times but thought he was trying to place me or something, little did I know)
Me and Don C. LOOK AT THAT BIG ASS CHESSEY GRIN ON ME. My daughter even said Ive never seen you smile bigger....Am I a bad dad T_T
I tickled J.P. with my line "It started as a clown....I ended up with this"
I believe this is Tim ( so many people to remember)
And his bird...Kevin
Happy happy Easter happy spring happy happy everything.
Don C. with the most awesome man ever J.P.(I love this guy amazing man this guy is , J.P.)Drinking out of a Don C. bunny straw the straw is thru the belly.
Size comparing my condom to those of most mortals.The guy with the white shirt and beret style hat thing is Roger. No face pics of him T_T
Don C. Drove from L.A. just to be in Phx for the jam he left back to L.A. that night what a guy.
Don teaching a "simple" hat, thanks Don!

The caricature of me by Roger. Man what a guy. I got this for an Orange Juice he got ripped off for sure.
Edited one of my pics closer to the caricature of me to see how good of a job Roger did.

Cool balloon hobby and all but I can't help thinking that if I saw the pics out of context it would seem like a pedophile convention T_T

An underrated and entertaining talent

Omg this is so cool :O
This is amazing

omg you have developed through balloon twisting like your very own tangible RPG experience. You are high level now and looking for hidden bosses in the game no doubt, basic challenges pose very little danger to you, and now you have collected a party together and are ready to take on the balloon dragon of the underworld, Raiden-Ra. Make sure you stack up on HP boosting balloons and add some dark resistance in there and you're good to go.
Make sure you equip that helm you crafted as well, I didn't even know it existed on this server.

OMG these ballons are really amazing..how do you learn this art?

FuDDx is probably the most interesting person on this site.

Hummm At jams its ALOT of sharing and showing eatch other things. There are things like the bunny straw (by Don Caldwell) that he would not share his secret for inserting the straw Thru the head and belly creating a balloon that can be air filled yet have liquid go through it amazing.Many were scratching their heads on that pros and newbies alike.
People like Don and Ed Chee (not pictured he was there though) are some of the bigger names in the world of balloons for creativity and in dons case performances (he is huge at birthday partys) But like alot of things we have our stars that continually make strides in the ballooning world and we have some that just use the stuff these type of guys and gals come up for us.And of course anything and everything in between.
I hope to be one of those who is a joy to be around, have fun, and bring smiles weather its with my balloon creations or ones that others have come up with.
Of course with balloons its so easy to take some existing thing and expand or change it so it is yours or at least partly yours.
Hope this helps a bit Grobyc I tend to ramble on.
