The 2005 National Gathering
of Professional* Bubble Blowers
* and semi-professional
Seattle, Washington
August 11-13, 2005

Seattle Space Needle

The First National Gathering of Professional Bubble Blowers may be a pretty fancy title for what we did, but we are hoping it will be a start of more regular opportunities for professional and semi-professional bubble blowers to gather, learn from each other, talk about everything related to blowing bubbles, and most of all have fun playing with bubbles.

Founding members of this new event were Sterling "the Bubblesmith" Johnson, Casey "BubbleMania" Carle, Garry "Bubbleman" Golightly, Geoff "Merlin" Akins, and Marilyn "the Collector" Doyle.

We met in Seattle, in part because the Pacific Science Center was having its 2005 Bubble Festival, Casey was performing there, and they had bubble tables set up in the courtyard for us to play with.

For two days, we met and talked, watched bubble performances, shared and played, checked out bubble books and videos, and then ended the event with a picnic and goodbyes.
