Hello everybody!

I made it home safely and now I am with my family! Although it was unfortunate that the storm canceled Tupelo Con ,it was better to be safe and I look forward to being a part of the con when it returns next year, stronger than ever!

Thank you to everyone who sent prayers my way and to all the people of Mississippi!

I hope that you all have a wonderful day and I'll see all of you there next year!

Hello everybody!

Well due to the extreme threat of exceedingly powerful storms in the Area, yesterday Tupelo Con was canceled for the weekend.

However, do not worry, I am safe in a hotel and I will be stationed within the restroom for protection (and I do have non perishable food with me as well). Please send your thoughts and prayers to all of those who are in Mississippi and Alabama.

Hello everybody!

I have just arrived to Memphis from Orlando and then I will be heading to Tupelo, Mississippi for Tupelo Con 2025! I cannot wait to see all of the awesome Con-Goers and the incredible Guests (especially Jonah Scott, I am a huge fan of Beast Stars and Way of the House Husband and my friend Chuck Huber, Andriod 17, will be there)!

I am also looking forward to seeing the many wonderful friends that I have not seen since last year (including the fantastic Con Heads Jamey, TC and Sabrina) as well as my friends from Bearded Villians! This is a convention that I always have a great time at and since Tupelo is Elvis's Birthplace...I will be making a hilarious balloon cosplay of Elvis Stitch!

I look forward to seeing all of you at terrific Tupelo Con, I hope that you have a wonderful day and to quote Elvis Presley..."Thank you, thank you very much!"

Hello everybody!

Well after 4 days of votes from you exceedingly awesome people...we finally have a winner...I will be making Elvis Stitch for Tupelo Con 2025! Thank you all again so much for voting, this scene in the first Lilo and Stitch movie always made me laugh...and in all honesty gave me a genuine interest in life of The King of Rock and Roll! I look forward to seeing all of you on March 15th and 16th, in Tupelo, Mississippi...the Birthplace of Elvis Presley!

Hello everybody!

After a year and a half of being with my incredible team of I will be starting my adventure at Epic Universe tomorrow! I have had so many amazing events, so many memorable guests and so many times where even when I was having some issues with a task...my team was there to help make sense of everything I was doing!

As one of my last acts to say thank you to my phenomenal team (and so that I could in a way leave a piece of myself behind, a suggestion by my Supervisor Mr. Tomas)...I made a hilarious portrait of myself out of balloons! They absolutely loved it and were delighted to see it!

I am truly honored to have been a part of a team that kept Citywalk not only looking clean, but truly did everything they could to help our Guests have the best time possible! Their collective work ethics guided me through getting an Employee of the Month Award, a One Year Pin, a chance to have my balloons given to Cinemark for the Wicked Premier (a very "popular" movie indeed), a Bravo Award...and many other precious experiences that made working with such a pleasure!

To all my co-workers/friends that made my time at Citywalk such a pleasure...thank you all! While I will be going somewhere Epic tomorrow...I just want you to know something...

You are all "Universally magnificent" and you all keep the over 100 year legacy of our Founder, Carl Laemmel strong! Thank you for all that you do!

Have an Epic Day!

Hello everybody!

I just wanted to let you all know that my nephew of cuteness, Oliver officially turned 1 during the weekend! My wifey , Lily and I all went to celebrate his little milestone! Along with that, I also made a balloon Very Hungry Caterpillar to go with the theming as well! It was so adorable seeing Oliver with his awesome Daddy Ian and to see my babes play with everyone and help with smashing the pinata (which my sister did an amazing job at making)!

In addition, I also had an exceedingly fun day with my father-in-law at ! We got to meet a lot of cool characters (Kitty Soft Paws was Lily's favorite) and was able to spend some good quality time together! And although my wifey was working at the time, she did make me laugh with her hilarious intentionally unenthusiastic Minion photos!

So I hope that you all have a phenomenal day and make sure to spend time with family and friends if you are able to! Sometimes, it can be just the thing you need to lift your spirits!

Hello everybody!

I just got done going to Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando Resort and not only did I see ...but he saw me! I absolutely love T-Pain as both a song writer and as a vocalist (he honesty has an incredible voice, if you have not seen it, look up his NPR concert to know just how amazing he is)...and being both an entertainer and a Father myself...I truly feel for him and his journey as an artist...and seeing him on the made me realize just how talented and misunderstood he really is. Thus I made a balloon of his character, The Monster, from when he won the Masked Singer in the first season (a very well deserved win)!

Along with this, I met several wonderful people who helped me with making sure that the balloon creation was safe during the concert...thank you guys so much (especially and and )! And at the end of the concert (which included my favorite song by him, "I'm Sprung" and his magnificent cover of Stay with Me by ) I was able to give the balloon to a true mega fan of T-Pain Miss who had a piece of art signed by him!

So I can in all honesty say, that I had an amazing time at the Mardi Gras concert (in addition to going to the fantastic Cursed Coconut Club after the event) and I got to see a real artist at work! One who had a phenomenal voice, who fully interacted with the audience and who made me laugh with his "Ghetto Fancy" remixes! So, know that if you ever see him at a concert or watch him do gaming (his
Videos Are hilarious)...know that you are seeing a genuine entertainer, showman and just an awesome person in general!

Hello everybody!

Well my last event for 2024 was exceptionally awesome! I went to The Vacation Villages at Parkway in Kissimmee, Florida and I had a phenomenal time! Due to it raining there was not as many families, for the New Years event, but that allowed me to fully interact with the families who were there and make them the balloons they wanted!

One of the managers of the resort even did a testimonial for me! After this, I was able to head home and spend the rest of the evening with my family to close out the New Year!

So I hope that all of you have a wonderful evening and can look forward to many fantastic celebrations in the New Year!

Hello everybody!

Last night was the last night of my temporary assignment with Universal VIP Experiences...and I can in all honesty say that I am going to miss my incredible team!

My journey that started in August with Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando and ended with The Holiday Tour was an experience I will never forget. I got to learn about all of the behind the scenes of Universal, I got to meet many of the creative teams who brought all of the unique marquee season offerings to life (in addition to making balloons for them during HHN), getting to meet the Grinch, Max and Santa (they were all legendary in their Guest interactions), I got help with my resume and I met so many unforgettable people! People who had a love of making the guests at Universal smile, people were as diverse as they were kind, people who had exceptional work ethics, people who were willing to listen to you if you were having a bad day...I loved my team and I am truly blessed to have worked with them (and I am happy they loved the balloon swords aka balloon lightwands I made)!

While I am extraordinarily excited to be a part of Universal's newest theme park, Epic Universe (I just got my call saying that I will be going to Epic Universal on February 9, 2025)...I am truly grateful for the opportunity that I have had being a part of VIP. I had to say farewell to so many magnetic people...but I know that this is not goodbye for good...this is just the next chapter in each of our journeys! Many of the people I from VIP will be going to Epic as well, but for anyone who is not going...I know that our paths will intersect once more.

Happy New Years to all of you my good friends!

Hello everybody!

I hope that you all are having a fantastic Holiday Season and know that there is a lot that offers to do for the Holidays! As a Team Member, I have loved getting to work with my incredible VIP (and Park Services) Team and I was even been able to have my family get to experience the wonderful festive entertainment/dining!

First off, working with him almost every night, I can 100% say that the Santa that we have for our VIP tours is the real Santa Clause...he is absolutely incredible wih his interactions and makes every Guest truly feel the Holiday Spirit! Thus, I had to make him out of balloons for him and his incredible Entertainment Team! My team also got together to do a Cookie Crawl aka bring your favorite cookies (mine are German Lebkuchen and Snickerdoodle)!

Since I am working on actual Christmas Day (my family will be having a Christmas breakfast) we decided to go to NBC Grill and Brew at ! The food was fantastic (the giant pretzel was the fan favorite of the night) and we got to see Lily hilariously eating flatbread Pizza!

In addition, we were able to visit The "Green and Red Coconut Club" and see Earl the Squirrel's Tree Farm! The Theming at the club was truly on point with there even being a fake ski lift, a multitude of Trees and a live band!

So I can definitely say that I truly have had a fantastic time working and playing at Universal...and my family and I wish all of you a Happy Holiday Season!

Hello everybody!

I hope that all of you are doing well, I had an event I did recently with the Birchmore as a balloon making elf for the City of Winter Garden. I did the event with the help of my friend Nikiya and we were able to make many people smile while they waited to meet Santa!

Together we were able to make many amazing families smile for the holidays! We hope that you all have a wonderful day, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

"Good News" everybody!

Yesterday was an eventful for me, a day of both immense joy and melancholy...yesterday was my last official mini set of days back to Citywalk at Universal Studios to see my amazing Park Services Team and also the premiere of WICKED The Musical movie before I went back to complete my a temporary assignment for Universal Orlando Resort VIP! So as a result and a way to say thank you to my incredible team, I wanted to make a balloon of Elphaba and Glinda from the new movie (which I will be seeing the movie tomorrow with my wifey)!

Each "Gravity Defying" witch took two hours each to make and used around 90 balloons altogether. They were exceedingly fun and they both have a home with Citywalk and with Cinemark as well, both places that I have fond memories of! In addition, my wifey and I saw the new experience in Universal and it was truly...Wicked (make sure to definitely try the Ozvacado Toast)!

So to everyone here, as The Great and Powerful Oz says, I hope you all have a "Wonderful" day!

Hello everybody!

I wanted to take this time and post the last three awesome balloons that I had made for my time at Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando as a part of VIP (RIP for the season). I loved being a part of the incredible event and getting to make people smile everyday of the event. I also wish to apologize for it taking some time to get these balloons out to post, but I am hoping thaylt you all like them! Thus without further adieu, these are the last three balloons from Halloween Horror Nights that I made!

1. Incidious: The Red Faced Demon balloon was exceedingly fun to make and I actually was able to present it to the cast as well. This balloon represents my father-in-law's favorite house, indeed the most terrifying house of the year, Incidious!

2. A Quite Place: This balloon represents the Death Angles from one of my favorite houses of HHN, A Quite Place! I loved getting to see the performers use the ASL throughout the experience and the Death Angle Puppets weee absolutely incredible!

3. Nightmare Fuel: Nocturnal Circus-The Fortune Teller Aerialist. This show was absolutely insane, with its story, magnificent pyrotecnic performance art, amazing music and phenominal entertainers, the show completely wowed me and my wifey! The highlight of the show was seeing the Fortune Teller character doing mind blowing stunts, hanging from her hair! Thus, she had to be made as a balloon as well!

(This is a video of her in action)

I hope that you all had as wonderful of a time at HHN as I had and I look forward to seeing all of you at Citywalk for a few weeks...and then for the Hoilday Season in just a few weeks!

With all of the awesome things coming to Universal Orlando Resort , I hope that you all have an Epic Day!

Hello everybody!

When my wifey and I went to Halloween Horror Nights her favorite house eneded up being The Museum: Deadly Exhibits and as a result, I knew that I needed to make a balloon representing this amazing house! The actual detail in the house, the costumes and the sets were fantastic, but the part that left the biggest impact on us was seeing the beautiful glowing masks and the mask scare actor!

Thus I made a balloon of the glowing mask in The Museum: Deadly Exhibits and I even used mini lights to make it glow. In addition I was also able to meet one of the actors who protrays the Glowing Mask and get a picture with the incredible backdrop for the Haunted House!

So I hope that all of you have a wonderful night and I have two (potentially 3) more balloons coming up before the end of HHN to recognize the incredible scare actors for this magnificent event!

See you all "Where Horror Lives"!
