I’ve been looking around unsuccessfully for a place that deals with dry ice. I don’t need any more than a cup size and every place I went to looked at me like I’ve got two heads. Any ideas? ---

There use to be a place in Albany called Happy Ice but I am not sure if they moved out of their old building. Hit up the phone book cause thats how I found it. ---

was that the shit? I couldnt remember what it was. I thought it was magnisium for some reason maybe. In HS our teacher brought us out to a pond and threw a brick in. As soon as it hit the water it poped and shot back up in the air, then came back down and exploded again, it was like leap frog cool as hell. dryice bombs are fun, put it in a gateraid bottle, cap that shit and send it to the bottome of the pool with a weight. kabloooie ---

There are a bunch of different ones and magnesium is probably one but it may be harder to get your hands on that one. ---
