Any other professional pyros out there?
It's that time of year again, and I'm gearing up for shooting the 4th of July fireworks show at Shawnee Lake in Topeka. Sounds like we've got a few people who sell class C pyro around, but does anybody else out there shoot the big stuff?

If so, where will you be? What's your show like? Any cool pictures from past years?

For what it's worth, this kinda began over in Nzoner's thread here. I just didn't want to hijack his thread any further than I already had.

Again, you got any snakes or perhaps those things you throw on the ground that pop? That's more my speed.

I've personally never gone to the demos, but I've always wanted to. I work for a company who pretty much dictates what effects we get anyway. It sucks, but they take care of a lot of the paperwork that I have no desire to deal with, so it's a trade off. This is probably my last year, as I'm moving out of the area I've always shot shows in. Otherwise, I might try and find a demo to attend. Oh well.
You have a good eye for set-up.
We didn't do the shows for pay, our buddy got licensed and we all joined in each year to do a show (he does many each year), just a group of buddies spending the 4th wiring and firing. We were lucky enough to get funding from the park and the lake residents to put on a pretty good sized show.
Sorry to hear it might be your last year; hope it's a great show.

I know a guy who once took the lift charge off of a 3" salute, taped a time-delay fuse on it, lit it, and threw it. He was an idiot, but it worked. I could hook you up with that maybe. Of course, if you screw it up you'd probably be missing a couple limbs, but other than that...

The show at Shawnee is right next to a golf course. They close off the course around 6pm, but during the day golfers are going by the whole time. I can't even begin to guess how many times some guy comes by and asks "Does anybody have a match?" I suppose it was probably funny the first time, but now I just kinda want to throw something when I hear that.

I just get stuff that I can put out in the street that won't be too dangerous to the neighbors. Then we can sit on the back porch and watch the big display at the High School.

That's what golfers say to one another. Jeez. Everybody's so uptight.
