I saw them again not too long after at a metal show. the dad looked like a smug asshole, but the kids were genuinely into the show and were having a good time, which was nice to see. really hate how he's still whoring them out tho.

yeah see people always talk about how the internet can aggregate information and keep people amazingly aware of breaking news, but I could just as easily look at the end of this thread and conclude that a werewolf child parachuted out of Kanye West's balloon
This is one of my favorite posts of all time

the dad is such a piece of crap. i saw him at one of the shows his kids played in Tampa and wanted to accost him so bad. but his kids were having a good time so i thought better of it.
still will never forget the moment after Falcon gave me his card when I put 2+2 together and realized who I just met. couldn't stop laughing the rest of the night.

totally used to see the entire family at metal shows for a period of 1-2 years, it was so bizarre. Falcon handing me a card for his band at Morbid Angel sent me into a giggling fit I couldn't stop for a half hour

"Richard and Mayumi have paid the price in the eyes of the public, served their sentences, and it's time for all of us to move on. It's time to no longer let a permanent criminal record from the balloon boy saga follow and drag down the parents for the rest of their lives."
Yes. Very sensible and generous. Now let's apply the same thought automatically to a much wider swath of the ex-incarcerated, not just a handful of people at a time.

When you look at video of the balloon, I can't see any kind of an entry hole in it... So how did the kid get inside? I hope this is just some sort of a prank.
