Personally I like the Pogo 3.0.  It still needs some improvements but it's
lightweight and I can put my cards and other stuff on the side (just tonight
alone probably 10-15 people grabbed my cards right from the pump while I was
doing other things - one who was at the table next to the one where I was
entertaining).  I also am going to fashion a sleeve with pockets to put
light stuff like specialty balloons (too much stuff and this will become top
heavy).  It's also a fascination piece for all of the men at my gigs - I
think it's because it resembles a power tool?  Just a theory.

A friend of mine has devised a battery-operated pump using some kind of
hospital technology that lasts for 8 hours straight and charges in probably
10 minutes, but I have something icky wrong with my back and it's too heavy.
Of all of the people who bought her prototypes I'm the only one who has had
a problem.  Otherwise, this is a wonderful pump.

Before everyone asks in breathless anticipation for information on this
pump, it's going to be out in the market in a couple of months.  I'll try to
get some info from her before TJam, or if you're interested come and see me
and I'll pass your name along to her.
