Hello dear Teamliquidians,

I just got back from Vegas where I was able to meet many new ballooning friends as well as have some good Vegasy fun.I was able to learn quite a bit and I did not lose too much money while there.Here are a few pics from the AlternaJam in Vegas.

Jack Matson made this guy and stuck him in the elevator (causing many people to hold the elevator to take pics holding up everyone on the second floor, we thought the elevators might of broken until we relised people were holding the doors open to get a look/picture of this guy.He stood about 5foot 5 or so.

A monkey done by Rob B. I believe not 100% sure though.This monkey was about 5foot tall as well.

A shark by Don Caldwell He shared his design with everyone so I used the teeth for a rapid scobby doo!!

A monsieur Sigrid inspired hat I made in Vegas.

And I found a couple of photos for my 1st day Through the door winner from Tjam on the road in Phoenix.

In other news a good buddy of mine needs views so he van get onto the Us pizza team go check him out the more views the better his chances and he is really good for just starting out.His name is Eric Ross.

I meant a rabid scooby not rapid

and Vegasy fun = gambling and drinking.

Thank you all for the comments.

Thats some serious talent! If you don't mind me asking, what brought you into this field? It seems pretty exotic and really, really difficult!

Congratulations on the possible scholarship! Those are some pretty intense balloons haha. I've swung by your blog a few times and every time I see a crazy balloon I try and go backwards step by step in its creation. My mind explodes in refusal. I don't suppose you have a youtube channel or video of you working your magic?

you can get it thru netflix.

This is what started my looking into balloons and finding local twisters.
It is a amazing community and the possibility of making good money doing balloons is there.

Just found out I am too late to get a scholarship for the Belgium event. Hopefully I can find another way there.Though I am still able to apply for the scholarship to another event that is a little further out.The cut off date was the 4th of this month missed it by a week or so so sad.
