Overview
From The Balloon People
I had been told cash was going into the balloons but I thought maybe dollar bills in maybe some of the balloons. No… we were going to be given the task of putting $100,000 dollars in cash into the balloons that were going into the drops. We were going to be sitting with 2 armed guards and Patrick, the money man! The boxes of balloons (5,000 of one size and 150 of the other) and the nets arrived. We had to make the balloon drop nets. This required space. We had to develop our plan of action to get the money into the balloons. I called in all hands on deck and we had a money stuffing balloon blowing party. Day 1 we got 5 drops done and Day 2 got us the other 6 drops. It took 56 man hours just to fill the balloons with money ($100, $50, $20, $10, $5 and $1 bills.) Every balloon had at least one note in it. We have fun clips of the money and of the drops up in the ceiling but after begging several people to film and send me a clip of the actual drop happening, I never did get to see it. But I did hear that people went CRAZY, scrambling for the balloons (in part because they were told that inside 50 balloons were sets of keys to Tesla cars!). They really did have Teslas there but the keys were not in balloons of course and the winners of the cars had already been picked but it was still a great idea to get the people involved, excited and popping! Yeah, that was one for the memory bank and I am still holding thumbs that I do get a clip of this one day.
