Lakewood Boys & Girls Club - Dec 10th
Yesterday was another Wolverine show, although this time I was just there was a spectator because I had an appointment early that day and couldn't help with setup, then had to be back in Seattle soon after the show ended, so no cleanup either. It was pretty nice to just show up and watch though!
I got there an hour before the show started and it was already dark, so the work was done and I couldn't see that much, especially because the cakes were all protected by plastic bags because of the risk of rain. The worst we had while I was there was heavy mist, which wasn't bad, but could have been a problem if they weren't prepared for it. As a result, I only got a few pictures and they don't show much...
The show itself was good and very well received by the crowd (not that it is hard to please a bunch of kids with fireworks). The opener was a big wheel that unfortunately didn't spin, but still looked pretty cool. That was followed by over a minute of fountains, which was a bit too slow for me (and the crowd, I cut most of it from the video below). Then it was pretty much craziness for the rest of the show. It was a bit of a sky-puke at times, but still looked good and had a lot of nice stuff in it. Spreading things out in a front would have looked a lot better, but there wasn't space to do it. There was also a small waterfall, which was pretty cool, I hadn't seen one in person before.

So that was that. Good times were had, and it was nice to just relax and watch the show without doing anything! I'm not sure when my next show will be, I have plans for New Years, but there is apparently a show in late January in Oregon I might try and get to.
In other news, I've been getting a few spam comments to posts in Russian, which is kind of annoying and weird. I have been pretty quick about erasing them, but that is what is going on if you see anything. I thought about just disabling comments since almost nobody comments anyway, but I'll leave it open just in case...
