Holy crap! My co-worker and her husband went out there for it and I thought "woohoo, big deal, ride a balloon". Holy underestimating! That's awesome!
 
i was pretty impressed being a New Yorker and all. There were over 700 registered balloons there. You would usually see around 100-200 in the air all at the same time in the early morning.

Didn't one of the balloon pilots there have a problem??
A couple of them hit some powerlines with no injuries. The smokey bear balloon caught the top of a 700ft. radio tower. The 2 people inside had to climb outta the basket onto the tower. They climbed down the ladder from the top of the tower! :eek:
