Hi John.
My AirGas contact just got back to me (I think he was tired of me hounding him) and the price is significantly higher than this (Just under Demke's), so you got a 'deal'. There is no helium available at all in southern IL - All of it is spoken for already.
I will still likely fill at Party City and bring to the Armory and top off there when needed. And I'd still be happy to do a few more for others to save the on-site tanks for breakage, etc. Just let me know off-list.
Regards.
Mike Kirda
