What you are about to read is probably the most amazing thing you will ever see ever. I didn’t do this because it’s illegal and I don’t condone illegal things, BUT I met someone on the bus who DID do this and they told me their entire story and showed me pictures! Their project started off making with a simple recipe:

<recipe found online> 
2 - 12 oz. cans frozen grape juice 
3 1/2 cups of white granulated sugar 
1/3 cake of yeast (Fleishmann's is best) 
A large Balloon and some string 
One Gallon Jug

UPDATE

Holy hell! I was just dicking around on CollegeHumor.com and I saw this. Apparently I wasn’t seeing things. That kid rules!!!

The other day my parents entertained the idea of getting me a car next year. Next summer I’m probably going to get a job somewhere other than Maine, so a car would be pretty helpful. Deciding what car I’m going to cop was pretty easy… I wanted a car with gull-wing doors, which was my only requirement. Turns out there are only two cars with gull-wing doors, and one of them cost around $250,000. That narrowed my options down to one car: The DeLorean. I think the DeLorean is a sweet car for three reasons: 1. It has gull-wing doors. 2. I can do donuts with one foot on the ground like in the Cash Money Millionaires video Get Your Roll On. 2. Whenever I’m bored I can strap a whole bunch of random shit to it and pretend I’m from the future – something I plan to do on a daily basis.

So a few weeks ago I was visiting Alice, Jin, Buddha, and my sisters in Boston. I’ve been to Boston a lot cause I live close by and I have family there. This time in Boston I saw iPod ads EVERYWHERE. I sincerely doubt there is a place in Boston where you cannot find an iPod ad, aside from a FEW bathrooms. Here’s a picture of a few iPod ads by in the Prudential T-stop. What bothered me even more than the signs is the fact that I was listening to my iPod half the times I saw them. Damn it their ad campaign is good. Or is it?

Ok this is straight up the sweetest thing I’ve ever done. I got the idea from a Jeep commercial over 5 years ago in which there were 3 Jeeps parked in front of some canyon. It was dusk-ish and people were lying down on the hoods of the Jeeps (which would be amazingly uncomfortable) and the people had glowing balloons floating high above them. They looked like little hot air balloons made of pillow covers and candles that were tied down with string (mmm should have taken that advise to heart). I thought it was an awesome idea and really wanted to make one.

5 years later… that little boy’s dream was about to come true.

I had a few ideas as to how to make this thing… I could use a garbage bag for the balloon, birthday candles for the heat, straws to frame it, and pins to hold everything together.
