There is a balloon festival this weekend in West Springfield MA starting today. Here is a list of events in case you were not sure if you would like to go or not. I will be going up tomorrow around 1 or so and hopefully meet Bear and NShapiro at some point. Not sure if anybody else was intending to go.
