Balloons!!

I now have another new random skill to add to my already absurd resume... balloon wrangler!

For New Years Eve I worked all day on the balloon drop for the Matt & Kim Show, who were just featured on the cover of the Village Voice.  (And who are super nice!)

We blew up 2000 BALLOONS, herded them into two long mesh nets, and wove the pull-cords through each one. My fingers were super raw from hours of tying, but working in the Hammertstein Ballroom was lovely and my fellow wranglers were a ton of fun to work with! 
(Thanks Adam Aleksander for including me on the project)
