Had a great night at Applebee's last night. I have a number of regulars who come in, and its always great to see them. Well, two of my favorites are Sebastian and Bernadette. They and their lovely parents are here for a year of Dad's work. I believe they are from Russia, but I know its an Eastern European country. We made the 4-foot penguin last night for them to take home, and since they came in on the later end, I was able to sit down and teach them how to make a balloon dog.

Restaurant work is an important part of my business. I help build clientèle for the venue while marketing myself at the same time. It allows me to practice my balloon work and solidify what I do.

Hey, I came across this blog entry in a Google search. Its about a balloon artist in Miami from Russia. Check it out:
