I hope my comments were not taken negatively - everyone I spoke to had a
positive comment about the day (and I spoke to a lot of people - not that
all of them could understand me as I spoke English!).  I didn't speak to
anyone that wasn't amazed and having fun.  The main comments I got was the
crowd - and boy what a crowd - which is not all bad, I guessed we saw not
far less than 4000 people on that Sunday - 4000 people that understand
balloons are fun, great decorative items and not just round balls on sticks!

I take your comment about the 9" balloons and retract my suggestion about
giving these out - It's amazing how you don't see it from the other side
until it hits you in the face.  Next year I am entering the Busker Comps and
will happily twist for the day if required.

And for those of you who weren't at IBAC this year I do hope you had a good
excuse - check out the article in the current Images about IBAC - there is a
great idea in there about IBAC Tax which will help your company afford it -
the investment is better than anything else you can spend that money on.
