2015 Balloons for New Year's 2015!

The story goes like this: at the end of 2009, Amanda says, let's blow up 2010 balloons for New Year's. Greg laughs it off. An hour passes, Greg calls Amanda back...I found balloons, let's do it!

Five years later, our balloon room grows more and more awesome! Group photo from our first balloon covered new years party...2010+ respectively small balloons.

Preparing this year's balloon room.

Just look at the excitement in our faces.

Our filling station. As years have passed, we have improved upon our production methods.

Having begun in 2009 with one air compressor and an assembly line of filling, tying, and labeling the balloons, we now have ourselves a 5 nozzle system with room for 4 air compressors. Mass production baby! It still took us a few hours to blow them all up.

These things are amazing. No more duct taping our battered fingers!

Still, it's coming along nicely. Only 1500 more to go.

Of course, there are always casualties...so many casualties.

You better believe we number them.

...and write on them.

...and draw on them.

A fan to hold the balloons at bay.

Balloon selfie! Annoying, amirite?

Almost there.

The finished room, ready to burst at the seam. Final count is roughly 2400 balloons.

This year, we have added a twist.

Popping begins at midnight. Naturally, these two are reserved for last.
Happy New Year Everyone!
