Looking at the balloon it twisted, I don’t think that balloon twisters need to be worried just yet.

Attending a convention is a great way to meet other entertainers and learn new skills. However, you should review the cancellation policy before paying to register for a convention. A recent debate on a balloon group on FaceBook revealed that some convention organizers do NOT allow people to sell or transfer their registration if they cannot attend. I understand that organizers may not be able to offer a refund, but they should allow people to give their registration away so that someone else can take advantage of the money that was already paid to attend the convention.

ChiTwist Chicago Balloon Twisting made a video review of his new Balloon Hero Pump. It just happens that I also just got the same pump from Balloon Hero and totally agree with his review.

If you are a balloon twister and spend time on facebook, you probably saw the balloon twister community panic after T Myers Magic magic announced they were closing. Well, it has been a few weeks, and now they announced they will reopen on Monday, May 19th, 2014.

I think that I only ordered from T Myers twice. Most of my balloons come from another dealer, but I do visit the T Myers website on the regular basis, just to see if anything is new. I also found they had a better selection of DVDs which was the main reason I had placed two orders with them. It will be interesting to see how they do with the comeback.

Looks like I haven’t posted new jokes for a while… These are NOT my jokes, they are jokes I collected from the Internet and other sources over the years. It is fun to have a few jokes to tell related to the designs the kids request, current weather, upcoming holidays, or the back to school season. The following jokes are all about animals.
