			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr. Fudge, balloon artist and entertainer out of Tampa, was covered in a front page story about balloon artists and their craft in the Wall Street Journal.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;">Having twisted balloons for a number of years, it was a great honor to have the Wall Street Journal call me up and request an interview in person. When I found out that the reporter wanted to fly in from Chicago to spend the weekend with me so, I was ecstatic. It was an awesome feeling. Soon after, however, I began to get nervous and then sick. I had never had someone so important want to follow me around for any length of time, let alone a weekend. I called every mentor I had. I called balloon artists, family, friends, and business owners. I tried to stick with people I knew had dealt with the press, but I could use an encouraging word from anyone I could get a hold of.</span></em></p>
<p>Below is one of the excerpts from the over 1,000 word entry.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Finally he handed the birthday boy the finished product &#8211; a portrait of Luigi, a character from the Super Mario Bros. video game, complete with twisted brown mustache, green body, and white gloves. The boy smiled and asked him to autograph it.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In addition to the written article which appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, there was also an article online, a photo gallery, and a video which I&#8217;ve posted below.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img class="alignright" title="Twist and Shout Logo" src="http://yourballoonman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/twist-and-shout.jpg" alt="Twist and Shout Logo" width="120" height="105" /></span><br />
That&#8217;s right! Your Balloon Man, Mr. Fudge has been asked to teach at the <a title="International Twist and Shout Balloon Artist Convention" href="http://www.balloonconvention.com" target="_blank">International Twist and Shout Balloon Artist Convention </a>this year in Chicago. Esteemed as one of the best (if not the best) balloon artist conventions around, it is a great honor to be asked to teach in the first place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In order to teach at Twist and Shout, one must first be asked to fill out an application. Furthermore, each application goes through a grueling and scrutinizing process of review from each member of the Twist and Shout staff. When they are finally done going through their application forms, they must settle on an exclusive number of teachers for the event. They can only choose 12. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Below is the email I recieved from Twist and Shout this morning:<br />
</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">     Well, its been a grueling task!  We had over 35 people with over 80 class ideas vying for only 12 spots.  There were heated arguments, hard choices and lots of compromise, but we have finally made our decisions on this year&#8217;s Twist &amp; Shout Instructors!</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">      YOU MADE IT!!!   Whoo Hoo!!!</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">      In the coming days we will be sending you more info about which classes you we would like you to teach, as well as forms to fill out and details to get squared away.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">     In the meantime, and as soon as possible, please send us a photo /headshot for the website so we can start updating that as soon as possible.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">     Now that <a href="http://www.DiamondJam.com">DJ</a> is done, we can promote T&amp;S to out heart&#8217;s content.  Feel free to let people know that you will be teaching, and start getting the excitement going for the best Balloon Convention around.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">      Thanks for being a part of the Twist &amp; Shout Team, and let me know if you have any questions.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">      Patty &amp; Royal Sorell<br />
      J Hubbard<br />
     Twist &amp; Shout Balloon Convention</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
So, Needless to say&#8230; I&#8217;ll be leaving good onld Tampa, Florida that week and I will be joining some of the top professional party entertainers in the world.</p>
<p>Striving always to be better for you,</p>
<p>Your Balloon Man,<br />
Mr. Fudge<br />
