Arches, Drops & Races
This month we’ve improved the payout button. Previously a link opened your email client with the payout details, this was causing problems for some outlook users and those without an email app. The new button opens a form with your raised amount and bank details. After submitting your form your dashboard will show” Payout request […]
Here’s my free standing PRIDE balloon letters displayed in a London office block reception. I built these using Ali Rod and Aerosole poles & bases. They stood on display for 1 week helped with balloon shine. As there are usually 6 pride colours (and only 5 letters in “PRIDE”) I used a purple cloth on […]
Here’s another 250 balloon drop, this time at Hangar34 Liverpool. For future installations a reminder that I need to take my 8 rung ZARGES.
The online duck race is becoming more popular. During lockdown I added 1 Yellow Duck to the balloon race to test the market and see if there was any demand for ducks. In the beginning it wasn’t viable to build a custom race so ducks had to run on the balloon race platform with references […]
Decorated the Radisson and Hippodrome Theatre in Bristol with 600 helium balloons. This was for the Hamilton press night. Nothing to report except the function room on 2nd floor of The Radisson has a super low ceiling.
For this years Wicked press night we installed 2 balloon walls. A green wall for the wicked witch and a pink wall for the good witch – or is the wicked witch actually good (in Wicked)? As well as vinyls on the wall we also used printed balloons. I twisted side print balloons with smaller […]
Today’s balloon drops were at The Engine Rooms, Southampton. Usually I install 1 drop horizontal with the stage. As you can see the venue has a large metal tube running along the centre, perfect for James Bond to hide in. I split the net and opted for 2 drops either side which worked well. Back […]
This 200 balloon drop fitted perfectly for the dance floor area at Hidden River Barn. I installed on Friday for a Saturday wedding. I used an extendable pole to position the net & a magnet to hold the pull line. Hi David , thank you so much! It was amazing and such a hit with […]
Always enjoy a trip to Edinburgh. This was a tricky balloon drop to rig at The Liquid Room. I didn’t want to block the view of the sound crew and the ceiling was slightly lower than most venues. So decided to cut a thin net and hang it under the sound desk. All worked well […]
I’m removing inactive (unpaid) balloons from the search results. Below describes a repeat issue: A user sets up a balloon named “example” and doesn’t pay. They return and setup a new balloon named “example” and pay. Next – they search for balloon “example” and the inactive balloon displays first. I’m guessing they have a small […]
Here’s another 250 balloon drop including T shirts, this time at The Drill, Lincoln. Extra thanks goes to the on site tech crew who ferried me around in their fantastic genie lift.
