or, why not just write about the stupid concert instead of finding some arbitrary link where you can snidely slip a reference in. jesus you're so fucking transparent.

That's amazing. One more thing on the list of things to do before I die.

Chris, that might be the VERY last thing you do before dying. Well, besides falling of hundreds of feet screaming for your mama.

I think the most incredible thing about this is that the balloons were (predictably?) the colors of the rainbow. There's something so uplifting (pun intended) about that. Butterfly touch the sky, I can fly twice as high. Just take a look, it's in a book. Reading Rainbows.

Lame, transparent was a reasonable guess, but there are more likely candidates.

Actually this was pioneered by a guy named Larry Walters back in July, 1982. Seriously, this idiot was dumb lucky!

"Larry Walters soared three miles above Los Angeles in an "aircraft" consisting of an aluminum lawnchair tethered to helium weather balloons."

Read the the unbelievable but true details here. www.snopes.com

So these folks are just adapting what ol' Larry designed 22 years ago! Wonder if he gets any royalties for his invention?

Sometimes landing is not that good (mpg, 7Mb). If the wind is a bit strong and the landing spot is a bit short then you're certainly going to have problems like we did.

Take a look at these short films (10-20 Mb files) through the air.
