Darth Vader Balloon



So, I'm not much of a parade lover.  In fact, you could say that I don't like them at all.  And when Aaron and I were tossing around ideas for a Saturday shoot and the hot air balloon launch came up, I couldn't help but imagine a parade-like experience.  And then Heidi mentioned that she thought the Darth Vader Balloon was going to be there.  "The what?"  Exactly.  Turns out it's a big old thing:

It was so worth it.

That's so awesome! My nephews were there today too, and they got to take a ride in it!

Oh my gosh! How could kids not be scared by that thing-- Maybe it's just us older folks?

Man, I really did miss out.

DL - to ride in the Darth Vader Balloon would be to achieve nerdvana.

The DVB entourage was almost as funny as seeing a giant floating Vader head in the sky. They had pretty much the entire Imperial Fleet represented - even the Death Star gunner guy. Just walking around, keeping an eye on things. Hilarious.
