No kidding. Individual looners often spend more money on balloons than some professional party decorating businesses.
Seriously. Some looners easily spend thousands on balloons in a year.
Hell, I've spent over 500 dollars on balloons so far this year myself.
You know, that just might work.
Some balloon manufacturers are actually starting to take notice of looners (Most notably the Italian manufacturer CATTEX. They developed a 32 and 36 inch longneck balloon specifically for looners.).
This reminds me, I once considered starting a Brotherhood of the Traveling Balloon thing, but decided against it.
Mostly because I'm lazy, and I figured people might get creeped out by it.
I guess I'll use it to buy more balloons instead.
Now I just need to decide: 24 inch standard Tuf-Tex, 24 inch crystal Tuf-Tex, or 24 inch patriotic Tuf-Tex?
Decisions, decisions...
