Anybody going to the balloon festival this year and want to meet up for an exchange?
Or people in the Albuquerque area know of any good boxes?

Howdy Squatchis--we met at the AZ boxing event this year. There are some boxes right there at the Balloon Museum. I'm volunteering at the bicycle valet there a couple of days. Maybe see you there.

There are lots of good boxes here. Off the top pf my head I'd say you'll never go wrong with one of wronghats boxes. Since I messed up my knee and couldn't take my daughter to the state fair this year I might just take her to balloon fiesta. If my knee is better. When are planning on being here?

That might just work out perfectly. We'll try to get out there on the 12th. It will sort of depend on how my knee is doing so I'll let you know but let's plan on it.

Well it looks like I'm being dragged to visit my in-laws that weekend. Normally I don't have a problem with that but I did have these tentative plans...In any case, I guess we won't be able to meet up since we will be out of town those two days.

Well poo.
At least you might get some boxes that way.

If you're in the "neighborhood" Come February, I highly recommend coming to Tucson for the annual gathering.
Lots of great boxes and boxers.

Good luck out there.

Thanks. It's doubtful because we went home to CA so much this year already and my girl is in school. But if we should happen to be we will definitely try.
