The early bird special, $260 has just opened for Twist and Shout that will be taking place in Rochester, New York from Feb 5/9th.

There is a nice promotional video on the website that was made I think in 2012, you might even catch a glimpse of myself, http://www.balloonconvention.com/

Who from Europe is planning on going? If everything falls into place I should be there.

I was looking to go to Florida this time to get a little sun.

I would like to go to Florida for the sunshine but the dates fall too soon after Xmas and NY and so I have ruled it out.

I am thinking of going to T&S again... will decide in the new year. I expect Natalie and Tony will be heading out to both... I keep meaning to check.

Martin.

I'm SO excited to go!  Thanks again, Graham!

I'm getting super excited for TnS next week!  Who all do I get to meet there?

Well say hello to everyone from me, that should keep you busy  

Say hello to everyone from me too. There that's the whole convention taken up now!  

I'd be called the "Village Idiot".  "Hello from Graham and Danny the Idiot."  "Hello from Graham and Danny the Idiot."  "Hello from..."  Hmm, actually they may just shorten my nickname to Idiot.  I'll have to come up with a better way to say hello.  

Balloon manor starts it's build on Saturday, http://airigami.com/2014/01/balloon-man ... ally-here/

I'm here and getting ready for opening ceremonies.  Thought you might enjoy a quick look at the weather.  Yeah!!

Getting ready for the 3 minute competition and some of the 3 minute entries.

Who is that funny man next to you? Hope he was not trying to put you off?    

More 3 minute pieces.  I really liked the Ninja Turtle, but I'm not sure who made it.  Two of us made Minions.  What can I say...great minds think alike!
