Well Crap Sandwiches
By Dylan | May 13, 2013
On Friday my briefcase with all my balloon sculpture stuff was stolen. I keep it all in a hard briefcase. The kind of briefcase that always holds loads of cash in movies. I have had the same case for 7 or 8 years and it has served me well. Also in the case was about 1200 balloons, a custom balloon apron, two pumps and some stickers.
What is not in there is a camera so I can see the look on the face of the person who stole it when they finally get it open. Because I kept it locked. All that effort to steal something worth stealing, break into it imagining being able to sell or use the contents and bam: BALLOONS!!
- Briefcase: $50
- Balloons: $60
- Pumps: $30
- Apron: $60
- Turning someone from a thief to an entertainer: Priceless
That is my hope. That they open it up and decide to stop being a dirty stealer head and instead use the internet to become an amazing balloon artist. I would love to go to an event and see some dude with my briefcase rocking out the balloons like a boss. I wouldn’t even be mad. I may ask for one of my pumps back because it is the first one I bought and I have been using it for 16 years.
Now I get to order another apron, a whole mess of balloons and find a new way to transport them.

Happy New Year!!
By Dylan | March 26, 2013
I guess I may be a little late on this. Whatever.
Things that have happened so far this year. I was laid off by Graphicly because they no longer need an android tester(what?). At least that is what I was told. I looked for a job. For about 4 weeks solid I hammered the internet pavement and the real world pavement looking for a job. I found none. Apparently the job market sucks.
Luckily my dad always needs help. And even though I am pretty sure I said I would never go back to that place I have been enjoying it quite a bit. I think that I have grown quite a bit as an employee and so it should go better.
I have been clowning a little bit more then normal for this time of year. Not a lot more… but a little more. I was lucky enough to see Eugene Burger at a conference I attended with Harper. It was amazing. He does things with cards that I only dream about. The best part about it was that I am now inspired to start being more hardcore with the magic.
I went to Sun Valley Utah(actually Idaho but I was told it was Utah leading up to the trip) for Dent(This would be the conference referenced in the last paragraph). Harper was speaking there and he had a +1 so I joined him. It was a good time. I will post more about the fun that was the conference later.
In other news I received a Wii U from my parents, harper and Sarah for my birthday. I love it. Sarah and I have been playing the shit out of some Mario. I love being able to help Sarah with the platforming without being in the way like on the other Mario coop titles. I have been playing Black Ops 2 and Lego City Undercover(forever referred to as GTA:Lego). I think that Nintendo created a wonderful product that once again is pushing what a console should do. I am not sure it is as groundbreaking as motion control was but I think it adds to gaming in a positive way.
Now that I have a normal job I hope to rock out some new projects and finish up some older projects. Check back for a post on that as well.
Thats what I have been doing for the last couple months.
