Dr.B.A. Loonatic
Last night we were pretending that it was my birthday -this is Emily's version of the evening-and we went Chili's for dinner. Actually, I had gotten a gift card from Candi's parents for my birthday. As we were getting out of the car I saw a guy walking towards the restaurant that had a doctor's lab coat on and a HUGE apron full of balloons. We had come to this Chili's before, and they have had a balloon guy making animals and stuff, but we didn't have the kids with us, so we didn't see what he could do. Anyway, his name is Dr. B. A. Loonatic, and when he got to our table, he asked the kids if they wanted an animal, and of course they said yes. Emily wasn't sure what she wanted, so he offered to make something that would surprise her, and she agreed. Now we've all seen balloon animals before, but this guy did some amazing stuff. He ended up making an balloon Ariel, as you can see below.
I assume he chose to do Ariel because of Emily's red hair. He finished it off with the seashells, and this question:
"Why do mermaids wear seashells? Because D shells are too big."
Feel free to laugh, share it with your friends, use it in one of those mass e-mails that tries to guilt people into forwarding it to there friends by promising good luck or saying that if you erase the message then that must mean you don't believe in family values. If any of have not receieved any of these e-mails, just let me know, I got a ton that I haven't gotten around to erasing yet.
Anyway, so then the guy asks Campbell what he wants, and Campbell says "A dog."
Of all the million things that this guy makes, and Campbell wants a dog. I proceeded to ask the good doctor to make me a snake.
He ended up making Blue of Blue's Clues fame, so it wasn't just any dog.

Probably the funniest thing about the whole situation was how Jonah freaked out every time the guy blew up a baloon. I ended up having to take him to the waiting area to keep him from crying.
Needless to say, I was pretty impressed with the guy. And I think you should hire him for all of your festival type activities. Not only will you get amazing ballon figures, but I get a portion of the proceeds.

Love it! I am always slighly afraid of those guys and am not sure if I should tip or what. But, I am impressed, he did a good job!
Wow! Those are amazing! Even more amazing is that you updated your blog! I wonder, do I tip you?
Hello, my name is Dr. B.A.Loonatic. First, I want to take a moment to Thank You for the wonderful words you wrote about me, it really makes me feel good to know that people appreciate my work. I remember you guys, I had a great time entertaining you! The way I stumbled on this blog is that I "googled" my name and was very surprised to come across this blog. 3 days ago, I just completed my "official" website, which is why I googled myself in the first place. You can now find me on the web at www.drballoonatic.com. I was hoping that you would allow me to place a link on my website so that people can read the review you gave me.
Again, thank you for the kind words, I genuinely appreciate them.
Very Sincerely,
Myer Goldstein
AKA Dr. B.A.Loonatic
