    For the last few months the Freebirds World Burritos in Lewisville, TX has enjoyed having me in on the third Tuesday of the month (that is tomorrow night) for their family night when kids eat free.

    Well since Freebirds is one of my favorite places to eat and the customers enjoy it so I’ve expanded to the Freebirds in Denton, TX as well. I’ll be going from table to table making large balloon costumes and balloon animals for kids and adults. So come on by and give me something creative. If I can’t make it the first time I’ll study it and learn how to make it the second.

    Just remember. No cats allowed! :)

    Hope to see you tonight!

  2. Happy Global Reddit Meetup Day from Denton, TX

    June 16, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    Today people from the internet all over the world gathered together for Global Reddit Meetup Day. For some reason Dallas didn’t have one, but my friends in Denton did. We had a blast at the picnic and then a few games at a friends house. The r/Denton people are really great fun and everyone is super friendly.  I enjoy these guys because it is such a wide variety of people with different thought processes but we are brought together by our own geekiness.

    Anyway, I didn’t really make balloons for the event but I did create a balloon crown for Kaitlin who was kind enough to organize the event.

  3. It’s been a Geek of a Week!

    June 14, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    The last few weeks have been really busy. I’ve spent more time away from home than I have in years.

    A couple of the reasons are that I was able to attend a couple of conventions I’ve been looking forward to for a while.

    The first was Dallas Comic-Con. This was a lot of fun. Each day I wore a different Marvel Avengers (Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America) superhero balloon costume.

    I even won Honorable Mention in the costume contest for my The Inflatable Hulk costume.

    Dallas Comic-Con was a blast and I even made some great new friends. I love hanging with nerds and geeks especially the creative types.

    Two weeks after Comic-Con I attended A-Kon 24. That is the second largest and longest running anime convention in America. I’m not really into anime, but I do appreciate the art and many attendees have similar interests like being big Doctor Who fans (or Whovians).

    There were actually a lot more cosplayers at A-Kon that at Comic-Con. I create several different sculptures for costumes. The Bronies loved me because I made a ride-in Rainbow Dash from My Little Ponies.

    I also created a rocket launcher for a girl cosplaying Soldier from Team Fortress 2 (TF2).

    And finally I ended A-Kon by making a Yoda balloon from Star Wars for a friend to take home to their son.

    He even had his own lightsaber.

    It really was a fun month. I can’t believe how blessed I am to do what I love. I can’t wait for the next opportunity.

    If you weed a balloon artist or decorator for your next event then please be sure to give me a call. (314) 346-2241

    See you soon,

  4. I won Honorable Mention at Dallas Comic-Con for my Balloon Costume

    May 20, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    I had a great time at Dallas Comic-Con this weekend. I went as three different Avengers superheroes from the Marvel Universe. I had Thor, The Inflatable Hulk, and Captain America Balloon Costumes.

    On Saturday I entered the comic con costume contest as “The Inflatable Hulk” (a play on The Incredible Hulk). I was so surprised by the audience reaction and I had a blast. I won the Honorable Mention prize, but since there wasn’t a second or third place prize I’ll just claim second place. :)

    A really cool custom Dalek from Doctor Who won the contest. It really deserved that win. It was incredible.

    The whole convention was amazing and I can’t wait for A-kon in two weeks and WhoFest in November.

    I really love what I do and when I can do it geeky then it is even better.

    If you want a fun balloon costume, geek balloon decor, or event entertainment then give me a call at 314-346-2241.

  5. Catholic Balloon Rosary – DFW Balloon Decorations

    May 2, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    I created another first yesterday. I was asked by a son to create a large Catholic rosary to be released in honor of the one year anniversary of his mother’s passing.

    I’ve always said good balloon sculptures should be emotional. They don’t just need to be happy or silly, but they can bring about something deeper as well.

    Religious symbolism is important to so many people and expresses their relationships, not only with God, but with one another as well.

    Whatever you’re looking to celebrate or honor give Higher Hope Balloons a call and I look forward to creating the perfect idea for you.

  6. Imagine a World Without Balloons

    April 27, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    A democrat from Georgia recently gave speech on the floor of Congress about why the government needs to end the sequester’s effects on helium. He stated “Imagine a world without balloons” and went on to talk about how sad it would be if we didn’t have balloons for children’s birthday parties.

    Well, for those of you that are concerned I want to give you a bit of hope. While many balloon artist do work primarily with helium, some of us that been at work diligently creating other fantastic balloon decoration designs that are stand alone. We certainly would love to have every resource available it is my belief that with a little effort we can overcome anything, including a helium shortage.

    So if you’re looking for exciting and creative balloon decor please make sure to give me a call at 314-346-2241.

    To see the full remarks here is a link to the video.

  7. Superhero Birthday Party!

    April 24, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    I received a call yesterday and it kinda got me excited! The lady called to book me for her son’s super hero birthday party. Now, I do a lot of different themed parties. I’ve done clowns, Elmo, circus, SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer, Princess, Cowboy, Pirate, and a ton of other themed parties, but it has been years since I’ve gotten to do a super hero party.

    The best part is that the kid is a big Superman fan. I’m a total geek and I can’t wait for the new “Man of Steel” movie to come out. I’ve been reading comics for 20 years now and yes, you are allowed to mock my nerdiness. So I’m busy working on some balloon designs. Here are some I’ve used in the past:

     

     

    I made this for DC Comics New 52. The girl holding it was smiling the entire time except when I snapped the photos.

    Whatever your birthday party theme give me a call and I guarantee I will come up with some awesome creations just for you!

  8. Family Night at Freebirds World Burrito in Lewisville, TX

    April 18, 2013 by Jason Vaughn

    I’m having such a great time performing at Freebirds in Lewisville, TX. Not only do I love the burrito bowl, but I adore the atmosphere. It has a great edgy style. There is a giant Statue of Liberty on a motorcycle breaking through the wall and tin foil creations everywhere. Tim, the manager is a great guy and I have a blast with the staff.

    I’m there from 6-8 every third Tuesday of the month and you’re always welcome to stop by for a great meal and some balloons. Kid’s Night is always fantastic!
