First Balloon Jam!!!

Went to my first ever balloon jam in the area.  I am very much filled with adrenaline and excitement right now.  Just talking to other balloon artists and magicians really gets my mind rolling with new ideas and techniques.

There wasn't that many twisters in the room, maybe about 12 at most, but the amount of talent was huge!  I have never meant a group of people more giving than balloon people. One artist was teaching another balloon twister how to blow up a 260Q (the long twisting balloon) by mouth; something he has never done before.  And when he got that initial bubble (the hardest part), everyone was excited and clapped.  Believe me, mouth inflating a balloon is extremely difficult.  I've even passed out a couple of times and definitely DO NOT recommend doing it.

Anyways, at the end of the jam session, I handed out my balloon to the restaurant staff.  The store manager afterwards requested the "Rose in Glass" balloon (from Beauty and the Beast), so I made it for him.  Also taught him how to do the basic balloon dog!!  Maybe another balloon twister in the making?? :)
