Happy anniversary.

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."

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.
