It feels like Spring is here and we are gearing up for a “green” balloon jam.  I don’t mean green because balloons are a natural (and decaying) product, but “green” for St. Patty’s Day!  Come and join us next Monday at Fantasma Magic for our annual St. Patty’s Day balloon jam.  At the end of the jam we will choose the best St. Patty’s Day themed balloon sculpture.  What will it be . . . . . ?

Also, we will now have a one-balloon-bag “cover charge” at Fantasma balloon jams.  I’m embarrassed to say that only two bags of balloons have been bought by us during the last 4 jams there.  If this was a bar/diner/restaurant we would have been kicked out years ago, but Roger and his team believe in our mission.  They are discounting their balloon bags from $10 to $8 for us, and they sell both assortments and solid bags of 260Qs.  Be sure to pick out a bag when you get there and ring it up at the counter.

WHAT: Open balloon jam for all balloon twisters
WHEN: Monday, March 15, 2010 from 5pm to 9pm
WHERE: Fantasma Magic in Manhattan
COST: There is a 1-balloon bag “cover charge” ($8).
RSVP: You do not have to RSVP, but feel free to let Todd know you’re coming.
NOTE: There is a FAQ for newbies if you are totally new to this balloon twisting thing.

You can still support amazing community balloon art every day without leaving your chair by voting for “Elastic Park” at Pepsi’s competition.  Elastic Park is Larry Moss’s huge balloon dinosaur park that requires a team of balloon artists and lots of community volunteers to create.  If enough people vote every day Pepsi will give him $50,000 in seed money to make this happen.  Please go to www.refresheverything.com/ElasticPark and vote.  Twice.
