Hi All-

I think that it's great that BalloonHQ has pictures and coverage of IBAC
before IBAC does!  www.IBAConline.com doesn'thave any coverage of the
convention, yet we were all treated to tons of pictures and news.  I think
this year's IBAC has gotten more free advertising among the twisters than
ever before!

Also, to butt in on the busking thread, you might want to check out
www.performers.net, which I think is the best resource for buskers.  If
you want balloon busking specifics, a [reformed] street performer named
Larry has great information on a CD, "Attack of the 50 Foot Demon,"
available for around twenty bucks.  I recommend that you check it out to
see his approach.  However, there is no substitute for experience.  Just
go out and try street performing.  Be prepared to flounder and fail before
you succeed.  It takes practice, guts, and hard work.  

Finally, I just ordered one of those snazzy new BalloonHQ shirts!  Now
I'll be dressed for success.  Get one while they last

The sad truth is that the new BalloonHQ polo is the most expensive shirt I
own.  Maybe I should shop more often.
