Hello Fellow Teamliquidians!

Hope your Holidays were wonderful and your New Year is off to a great start!

http://www.eslgaming.com/interview/gaming-fans-are-best-people-world-interview-daniel-fudd-ravia-2425

Been my usual nutty self lately. Struggling with everything other than making balloons with the balloon biz.....Err hobby I should say.

Bummed that I wont be attending any Balloon Cons. this con season. Trying to only travel when I get payed. Until I can kick my stupidity and start really digging in on all the work I need/should be doing to get this balloon thing to be consistent and a "real" biz.

imgur.com

Working out details for this years travels. Pretty sure Ill be back in Frankfurt for the ESL One Frankfurt event. Possible Ill also be doing some balloons or balloon workshops in Bahrain for the F1 festivity's. Looking in to also being a part of Katowice event for ESL, and another maybe for the Ireland festival ive done the last two summers (not sure if it is even going to happen this year) Way to many things with nothing 100 percent confirmed yet....

The kids are doing amazing. My oldest a Jr in HS now just got her PSAT scores back. And did well. She is still doing roller derby and has a thing in S.D. in a week or so. The wife and her will be heading up there while myself and the little man (9yrs old now!) will hold down the fort.

Wife still teaching NAT here at UofA. And trying to convince me to go outside more often.

Huge props to Pachi!! Thanks man!
Nice to say hi Carmac!
Wonderful to chat and catch up with lilsusie!
Also great to chat for a couple seconds with itsjustatank!
Also nice to see some other TL peeps at the event!

Ill leave it here....

Now the Pics.

And if you have any questions or comments or anything please let me know!! Ill answer as best I can.

awesome work and great job to your kids, doing well on the PSAT is really nice- the national merit scholarships mean I'll be graduating debt free. Definitely a big help.

Thank you for the kind words and checking out my simple blog entry!

Nice picture Pachi thanks for sharing it! Is it ok if I use it for personal use (social sites etc. with proper credit of course)

If anyone knows someone that has attended an event with me there please let them know to let me know what I can do to make it a better experience. And if they feel like sharing the experience they might have had and if it was a good on or bad or just kinda mehh?

It really means so much to me when you reply and give me feedback!! Thank you all!!

It would indeed be nice to see you once more!

I really had a great time in Frankfurt!! And I hope to be able to bring a balloon friend or two. Giving us the ability to get even more balloons into the hands of everyone!

Im dreaming of working many more events for ESL and any other gaming company in the future. If I could I would be working these events 100% of the time!

Found you in one of my drive-by snaps of the venue, feel free to use it for whatever. I've read your blogs now and then but didn't put two and two together (maybe didn't register seeing the TL hoodie + balloon guy) otherwise I would've introduced myself. Maybe next time!

Oh Wow!!

I was wearing my TL shirt as well here!!

Hope I do get to say hi sometime in the future! And thanks so much for the picture!

On a side note. I really should up my blog layout etc. game but I always put it off, feeling like I need a huge chunk of time and do it all nicely in one go. I hope I can start being a bit better at pitting together a better quality blog this year...in the future!!
