Default Balloonuniversity 2007

Anybody ever attend a "burton+Burton Balloonuniversity" seminar?

http://www.ballooniversity.com/index.asp

It's happening in Athens GA. on July 25-28. I'm going to the twistfest on Thursday night only, because of my schedule. Maybe I'll see some familiar forumites there I hope. I don't expect to be competing, just learning. Balloons are provided free. Twistfest only is $10.00 from 8pm til midnight.

I haven't had the opportunity but I hear good things about it. Please let us know about Twistfest. Maybe next year. There are so many learning opportunities and not nearly the time or the money to experience them all.
