Tomorrow night, we hit the road for Chicago and the 2010 Twist and Shout. This is my first balloon convention. This board was instrumental in getting me started in twisting last summer, and I want to thank you all.

My daughter Olivia (age 6) and I will be competing in the stage competition with an audience participation magical routine called "The Princess' Magic Necklace." After T&S, we'll post a video on youtube. (Unless we get boo'ed, gonged, or shepherd's crook'ed off the stage vaudeville style.)

Then the next day, I'll go Smarty Pants' workshop to learn what I SHOULD have done.

Wishi could be there .... good luck to your daughter I will be looking forward to seeing the video
