Larry Smith started us off laughing and then Trey Eilers hit the stage. Trey had a really dark, witty and clever approach to his comedy that stood on its own, but he's also a balloon artist!! Now, normally balloons freak me out. I might lick them, because I basically lick anything that's plastic or rubber, but balloons sound weird when you're blowing them up, then they're squeaky after you blow them up. If they get poked, they make a really loud noise and disappear, and that always makes me run for the hills.
Setting my balloon-phobia aside was tough, but once he started creating things, it was wild! I saw a unicorn, an alien in a spaceship, and after the show came the best surprise: a balloon version of ME!
