I wouldn't give you a side step. I would tell you what I charge. We have a
system of figuring out the prices so if you called a second time, it would
be the same.

A little explination of our system is in my Professional Portfolio for
Balloon Artists book. It is fully explained in my upcoming Birthday Party
Portfolio.

We use show slips and ask a series of questions about the show. The
questions can be asked in less than two minutes. Once they are answered, you
can quote a price. Our prices are based on time, size of audience, distance
traveled, etc.

Sure the competition calls once in a while. So what! If you are getting what
you truly deserve than you shouldn't be mad at your competition.

Of course Lauren why would you call me? You know if any travel was involved,
I would be in trouble!
