Buzz Lightyear and Ninja Turtle Balloon Costumes
(Videos below the break) So I’ve had a pretty amazing week enjoying some very new experiences. Last year I posted a video of my 2011 Halloween costume of Buzz Lightyear.

I had a great time tonight (really yesterday at this point) at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland twisting balloons for the college students at their biannual Study Over.

They were building a house in Maple Heights so we went to entertain the cast, crew, guests, and public. It was a great experience and was pretty cool making balloons on a such a big television set.
