Heh, so you have one too? Every October, the Albuquerque sky is congested with tons of balloons in our balloonfiesta. I wonder if the 'fiesta' in your title came out of ours. I mean, for New Mexico, spanglish is all over the place, but I didn't know it was such a pervasive things, mixing english and spanish. :)

One thing that we don't have (or atleast I haven't seen,) is the one with the half naked chick on it. We do have a bunch of special shape balloons like Vader, the Creamland cow, piggie banks with bank logos on them, and other things like that. One thing the world needs is a balloon that is in the shape of a half naked chick. :D

I wouldn't be surprised if the balloon crews do a circular world tour, from the Bristol Balloon Fiesta all the way round to New Mexico's Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (and why the name spread).

Triump International are a German lingerie company.
