One of a large number of hearty people who has made it their
livelihood
to fly Hot-Air balloons. Usually earning thier keep through the sale of
balloon flights
to
groundhogs
, (not the
furry
ones) although they sometimes also rake in the
cash
through
advertising
on the balloon, or in the extreme cases, flying a
balloon
shaped like a particular product. They are, indeed,
geek
s of a different sort and thus are just as
eccentric
as any other geek. They usually work out of small, privately-owned businesses in
rural
areas.
Balloonists, like any semi-organized group of
professional
hobbyists, hold
local
,
state
, and
national
meets all year round, the largest one being the
Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
in
New Mexico
. These gatherings are speckled with parties and other smatterings of
wahoo
.
