Ed. Note: Rider Rufus saw some interesting bartering going on last week on the T. This is the second balloon animal—related post that we’ve gotten in the last week or so. Is there a revival that I don’t know about?
Last night I was on the T headed home towards 3rd st at around 10:45 p.m.. This guy gets on with this bag and a bunch of balloon creations. He goes up to the driver’s window and says something I can’t hear because I’m listening to my music.
He goes back to his bag and proceeds to take out a balloon and a pump. In as fast as 40 seconds, the guy made a balloon dog, takes out a marker and gives it a face. He then gives it to the driver and receives a transfer in exchange and goes back to his seat. My only thought was “Only on Muni….”

despite my not being able to handle being anywhere near balloon animals while they’re being made (the sound is simply too cringe-inducing), this guy’s work is really amazing. i feel like i’m seeing balloon animals more and more these days, strangely. hey, it beat clowns (which were totally on the rise about three years ago).

Aren’t the two closely related?
