It's looking like I'm going to be in the market for a bubble machine. Your thoughts on where I can get a good one at a reasonable price?

And, speaking of bubbles..... if you use them, what is your formula or brand?

Don't Waste your money on a cheap one! Check with a DJ supply place or a music retailer. Get something like this:

I have used bubble machines and found out that "bubblemachine" by fx is the best. this machine has a handle that you can carry, The machine can be pwered by ac (batteries) or by dc (electric). you can look for it in wal-mart or other party supplies. most machines do reqire you to "prchase" their brand of bubble juice, after all, its their product and they want your money ! their is a formula to make homemade bubble juice. i think it is two teaspoons of liquid dish wash soap to one gallon of water. add a drop of food coloring to add that "aahhh cool" look. I hope that you have a great success -- I was a great hit using bubbles in a parade!

We used to carry bubble machines at Fun F/X. I don't remember hearing about any coming in this year. Sometimes that happens when the cheap ones start flooding the market. I will check tomorrow if I remember. Otherwise you might try Party City, Factory Card Outlet or the larger independant party stores I know that Chicago has. One of the best ones I believe uses a picture of a giant as their logo.
