ROFL Yeah, sure, you don't need a license to buy things that could kill people.

j/k about the C class stuff. I have loved fireworks since I was a kid. Out here we don't have anything, no sparklers, no snakes, NOTHING.
I'd give a lot to be able to come to your stand and fill my car with rockets and candles and crackers.
It must be cool to do that each year.

nlm ROFL At this point I'll take any football talk I can get. This has to be the worst time of the year in terms of sports. There is absolutely nothing going on right now.

Ever do any hand-lighting?

Only by accident.

I should have seen that coming.

yeah, not helping my phobia of lighting fireworks!!!

I've done it twice for REALLY small shows (budgets of around $2000 or less). It's a bigger rush, I suppose, but the pace is too slow for my taste.

I've never done it in a show. My buddy knows guys in the 8 Finger Club (guys who make/pack their own product) and we launched a bunch of their stuff one night. We taped a road flare to a broom handle and handlit them one after another. It was pretty cool.

No problem man,in fact when it comes to C class we've got some fairly decent stuff,granted it's not professional quality but for a street party some of these new multi-shots are very nice.

I know people who have done backyard (ok, more like back-field) shows using only class C stuff. If you do it right and know what stuff to buy, you can put on quite a show!

So you do the show at Shawnee Lake, eh? Cool. I might see that this year.

Good to hear! If you're willing to fight the crowds, we do some effects that are pretty low (kinda like the pics above) that you can't see from a ways back. Over on the dam is about the best place to be. However, I know how crazy the crowds are there...
