My good friend Joba (from our Danish sister-blog (or SOUER-blog for your Frenchman)))) and I went to a balloon festival this weekend.  We're total ballooniacs!  I swear!  No I swear!  We're such kooks.  Oh well, it would appear that over the years ballooning has really grown from a lot.  Apparently the first goose-skin models were banned for heresy because the balloons were suspected to be able to carry humans illegally into heaven.  These crazy christians!  Pu-LEASE, I am a secular though.  Joba and I are very spiritual both of us.  We believe in only holistics and healing with totally natural stuff!  Joba has this funny joke where he's saying "holistic is a HOL lot of fun"  and I'm like lol.  We had a great time at Balloons 2008 though, it was a balloon festival to remember.  But aren't they all!!!  Really some nice cross stitch patterns, and I was drawn to Joba's passion concerning the nylon vs. neoprene debate.  Inspiration I say.  More like balloonspiration.  BMAGGGG.  Thanks phlim for your generosity in this guest blog.
