NYC Balloons in the new Rob Thomas Video "someday"

I remember the phone call very well.......... "New York City Balloons", "Hi we're going to be shooting a music video for Rob Thomas and we'd like a big balloon archway in a rainbow pattern for people to carry in a mock peace parade, can you do that?" Absolutely, I replied. The order was placed and about a week later we were on location in Midtown.
It was a cold and rainy morning, one of those days you really don't want to get out of bed, let alone go off to work at 4AM. But as they say in showbiz, the show must go on. So there we were in midtown Manhattan, still dark and drizzling harder. There in the dark I could see a beacon of light, the Craft Food Service Truck, "we're here."
About 1/2 hr later we had a giant balloon arch completed in blocks of rainbow colors, a few finishing touches and we were done. I met with the client, who was the head of production, and she was thrilled. She thanked us for being there so early & doing such a great job. It was our pleasure. We had to wait a few months for the video to air. Check it out...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVWvCJcse8w
