And... drink!

batskeetsQuestion for my crew: I need to figure out where to get a regular old, helium-filled balloon. Not one of those mylar ones that says "happy birthday" on it, either, but a standard, solid-color, latex/rubber balloon. Any leads?
And no, I'm not throwing a party, heh. It's for a photoshoot this Saturday!
Apparently, St. Patrick's Day is the 15th, this year! By order of The Pope, no less. I am completely serious. The Pope does not want your drunken debauchery happening during Holy Week!
In other news, I went to check out another wushu school yesterday, just to see if it was any good, and just, wow. Pretty much a complete waste of time. Not only do they not seem to teach contemporary wushu, but they'd also insist on starting me at white belt, despite my 4+ years of experience and the fact that I have a higher belt rank at another school. Let me tell you, I am NOT going through that kiddie-class garbage again.
The real kicker, however? The head sifu did not say A WORD to me the whole time! One of his black belt students answered all my questions, but the head sifu didn't say hello, didn't ask if I needed anything, didn't even LOOK at me. It was like I wasn't even there. I mean, yeah, my current Sifu might be jerking me around right now about the whole belt level issue, but at least he'll talk to me and act like he actually cares whether or not I train there!
So, yeah, it was an eye-opening experience, to say the least. I'm feeling really frustrated about wushu in general, but eh, I'll muddle through.
