Balloon Jesus Video


A couple of weeks ago I was in Denver and spent a few evenings at the Paramount Cafe' with friends. It was pushing 12:30am on our last night in town and a girl in her early 20's was making balloon animals in order to earn a few bucks. She told me her name was Amy and then I asked her to make me a balloon animal.

She had a large portfolio of balloon animal creations (from a toilet bowl, to Bill Cosby, to things that for reasons of good taste, I can't mention on this blog). She said "how about a balloon Jesus". I agreed and then Amy asked if I wanted the "Crucifixion Jesus" or the "Robe Jesus".

I opted for the "Robe Jesus" because he was a bit more cheerful.

During her 15 minutes of Jesus creation Amy shared with me all sorts of things she experienced and thought about in life. I was glad to hear her story and impressed at her balloon creation.

I shot some video with my phone and put this video together...enjoy.
