I was thinking about going to the world balloon convention which is in Dallas and I think March time. There are three twisting conventions coming up, Euro Jam in Germany, Dennis & Ingrid's 3 day event in Holland 31st Oct/2nd Nov and another two day twisting event in Belguim which I think is around the 11/12th Nov.

Here is the website of the WBC, on March 21-25th 2012 Dallas, Texas, USA

They now have the list of classes up and once again its very much geared to the decor side, with lots of business classes too. Nothing wrong with that, just pointing it out.

For those who are hoping to attend, I will be hosting this year's stage competition at Twist & Shout along with the lovely and brilliantly funny Shana Brenion of Nifty Balloons fame (she is married to the much less famous David Brenion).

In addition, I will be teaching two regular classes (one on twisting, and one on performing), and a four hour extended workshop on image and branding.

Hoping some of you can make it.  I have not been to Europe since last years Millennium Jam and am missing my friends from that part of the world.

Just booked my flights over to Twist & Shout, this event normally clashes with Blackpool so we are not normally able to make it. It's been a few years since I have been.

Just going to pack my bags for the flight over to Phoenix tomorrow, planes and travel for me never quite go to plan. All this lovely mild weather and tonight they forecast snow,
hopefully just Wales and the South West. The plan is to put a few pictures up during the week of some of the events and report back on who is awarded what etc

Sitting in thel obby of the hotel waiting for Colin so that I can get into my room, it's nearly 5am London time so I'm feeling a bit tired.
There is free wi-fi in the lobby so will be OK putting some pictures uplater in the week. Flight was fairly stress free.

Thanks Kevin, I was a bit concerned when they said it may snow Sunday night but things were OK.
A few pictures, waiting to board at Heathrow, the view from our first hotel room and my breakfast this morning, a little on the large side.
