It went very well.  Had a bit if a scare that the wind would cancel us around 11:15 but it laid down about 10 minutes before midnight and we got the show off. 


Was it worth the long 12 hour+ days setting up all this past week for a 5 minute show?  **** YA!

Check out the finale that starts at 4:25 in the clip.  Over 400 shells launched in 45 seconds.
AWESOME!

I'd like to say that I wish I'd been there...but we were at Epcot this summer and watched the show one night...after walking all day and being up way past midnight to get back to our room, the whole family was wiped!   :-)

Fantastic show, DLR Pyro!  Thanks for posting that!

I would love to see that in person, I think.

I ended up going to a friend's house.  Lots of people.  Lots of food.  Stopped by a famous old bar in town on the way home. 

I watched some very drunk guys putting a shock collar on a very drunk friend of theirs who had been 86ed (so the story went) at a bar they wanted to go to.  The thinking was that if they showed the barmaid that they (the friends) could control the wild man, they would all be allowed in. 

I left just before they tested it. 

I'm wondering if that "famous old bar" is the same one I'm thinking of...saddles for seats at the bar, silver dollars, etc...
