# Noye Balmer III

"Formally the pink hat tester at posh country western bar in Denver, Noye has dedicated the rest of his life to get even one batch of 1-5/8” rolled stars to completely dry before closing them into another elegant yet ambitious large shell." — from the biography of Noye Balmer, by Steve Wilson

Noye was born the son of a preacher man and at an incredibly early age discovered both the fear of, and a passion for, HELLFIRE & BRIMSTONE when his father discovered a pile of burnt strike-anywhere matches in the backyard next to the house.  Undaunted by the intense physical affliction that followed, and the recognition that such affliction had the potential to stand in the way of what was now an ignited passion, the young boy learned from this experience to cover his tracks better!  Thus a pyro was born (again).

He who hath once smelt the smoke is ner’ again free…

His love of all things energetic and colorful combined with clinically undiagnosed early age trauma induced ADHD (screened together 3x with a 60 mesh sieve), has been a conduit for countless wonderful and terrifying experiences many of which he roped unsuspecting family, friends, and random strangers into sharing at WPA, PGI, and RMPG events.

The recent slanderous rumors of wearing the pink hat have been fact checked and debunked as “fake news” …however, the reports of high on-board resident humidity, large diameter round stars are unfortunately true…mostly…  MASA!  (Make Awesome Shells Again!)   

 Damn, …now where did I put that 24” hemi?...
