I learned a great deal just watching you, and while I did not have much to contribute balloon-wise to the discussion myself, the experience was very positive for me. I hope you enjoyed your stay in San Antonio. Sorry you could not connect with anyone in El Paso, but the flight out sounds like it turned out okay. I have already added the little man slam-dunking the basketball to my repetoire, as well as the gag-toy sticking out its tongue (made from a pink bee body). Perhaps most useful in the long run will be your technique of using bits of several balloons to create a multi-tone, multi-color effect in creations that would otherwise be routine (i.e. a horse). The brown horse with a red mane and a separate red tail is elevated considerably from a solid color one, and I will incorporate this technique more in the future. I expect the slam-dunking basketball player will go over great if the Spurs make another playoff run, and I'm already gearing up with an order of silver-and-black balloons soon from T. I'll take your advice about the silver BSAs being more opaque than the Qs. I hope you can make a return trip one day, and maybe we can have a better turnout next time with more preparation. To the rest of the list, if you have a chance to see Twister Chris perform, or to attend one of his teaching sessions, by all means take advantage of it! You won't be disappointed! Thanks Chris!
