I've come to the conclusion that there are some things that without which, it just isn't Balloon Fiesta:
- Breakfast burritos
- Coffee and/or hot chocolate
- Dawn Patrol!!!
- Getting up at an ungodly hour to get to the field by oh-dark-thirty
- Traffic on Alameda
- Tony the Tiger, Chicky-Boom, Smokey Bear, and that strange Marines bulldog we always mistake for Smokey Bear
- Dressing in layers This, of course, includes finding the Canon jacket that's been in the family for years...
- BURNER CHECK!!! � I firmly believe that the Hallelujah Chorus should be played every time someone lights one of those things...
- Seeing my Uncle County Commissioner Tom doing color commentary on channel 7's live coverage
- Balloon pins! And patches! But mostly the pins! Even for the events that didn't happen...
- Portapottys. Ugh.
- And now, CHASE CREW!!! It's the only way to fly... ^_~
