i don't think Jim was trying to say no one else could make a float but him - 
but that bad balloon presentations hurts us all and they do!  just from 
working on the sculptures at Ibac, i know all the designs are a great 
accomplishment by their own right. some people who competed have told me they 
made a "test run" before Ibac. the original writer did not state their 
experience and was asking for details or where they could get information on 
how to make the float. i work longer then 2 months on my big parties and some 
small, so 2 months for me would not be enough time for this feat.  anyone who 
has done outdoor work can testify too, the forces of nature can make a simple 
arch not an easy job to get done, let alone a balloon float. with television 
coverage, i myself would definitely want this person to do a good job because 
current and future clients of all of us will be watching. remember it has 
been proven a satisfied customer will tell one or two people, but unhappy 
customers will tell everybody they know. the balloon business to me is still 
in its babyhood, so let's all nuture it and help it grow really big and 
strong!
