Spider Pig, Spider Pig. Spider Pig does whatever it is that Spider Pigs do.

Which apparently includes floating over Albuquerque New Mexico.

I am at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and the Spider Pig balloon is here. Yay.

The Darth Vader balloon was my favorite but Spider Pig now holds that crown.

Pics to follow.

He’s new; made his debut @ Soleberg (NJ Festival of Ballooning) the last week in July. Awesome, awesome balloon! BTW, he glows really well, too.
