gus taketh down the dark lord

Darth Vaders Theme - John Williams
(play me first!)

albuquerque in the fall=balloon fiesta. and this year's balloon fiesta has been beautiful, as always, with only one day of cancellations. today, however, will undoubtedly be the highlight of all balloon fiestas to come as gus. took. down. the. darth. vader. balloon.

it was spectacular.

early thursday morning, gus, sophie and i spotted the dark lord rising high above albuquerque (and the creamland dairy cow balloon)...

then darth vader fleweth in front of my car...

and roseth over a rooftop...

and then he landeth in a dirt-packed field

he is quite menacing in person

but he was no match for the take-down crew...

...which included gus...

...and sophie...

...and gus really started getting into it by rolling around on him, pressing all the air out of the envelope

vader was stuffed into his carrying bag

and the crew put gus and sophie on top of the dark lord to seal his fate...in the bag...
