> Hi All-

 I am all set to leave snowy Boston for Austin, except I have no place to
 stay.  I don't want to be homeless, and I'd rather not book an entire room
 for myself (I'd be lonely).  If anyone needs a roomate from 2/15 to 2/19
 at T-Jam, send me an email.  Or call (617) 739-6674.  I'm up late.

Right now it's snowing pretty hard here in Boston.  All of my gigs for
today called and cancelled.  So I'm a twister with no place to twist.  How
sad :-)

> Is anyone else upset at the untimely demise of the airships?  I can't
 believe that there has not yet been a flurry of discussion about this on
 the twister list.  There are so many incredible things being built with
 airships today that it's amazing that they are being discontinued.  They
 are so versatile.  Some people are using them for incredible detail work
 (illusion eyes), some for big sculptures (like castles and dragons), and
 some for magic tricks.  

 Why are they being discontinued by Pioneer?  I can't believe that airships
are not profitable.  I think they are really expensive.  
 
Can anyone recommend another balloon manufacturer who makes airships?
