w00t!
It's not just Merriam-Webster's Word of 2007, it's also how I feel!
A while back I posted about my plan to get my school to switch to Wolverine for the fireworks show at my school's end of the year party. I talked to Rod about it this summer and he offered to let me plan the show if I got it. So I planned the show in great detail, waiting for the organizers to be chosen so I could ask them to switch (rather backwards, but I had fun and spent way too much time on it). They were appointed a few weeks ago and last week I finally gave them a little presentation. The show we currently get is rather unimpressive, and I promised them a much better show.
The budget is fairly small and the location isn't huge either, so I've planned a show using primarily 1.4G fireworks, plus some 1.3G mines in the opener and finale and 1.3G cakes and shells in the finale. It will also be shot to the music of the appropriately named band Explosions In The Sky, who I've always thought made awesome music that was perfect for fireworks.
This is my last year of college, so I'm treating the show as a goodbye to the school and contributing a significant quantity of fireworks along with my time to make it a great show. I have a cue sheet in Excel I might try to post in some form eventually, but it uses a lot of Wolverine brand 1.4G (no surprise there) plus some of the Golden Bear and United Pyro product they carry. That will be supplemented with a bunch of World Class product I'm working on getting my hands on and a bunch of miscellaneous items from Steve. I'll work up a count eventually, but the show will be fired from five main positions, with mostly 500g but some 200g, at least three cakes firing at the same time at all times and usually more. The finale should have around ten 500g big break cakes and two cases of 200g, plus 1.3G mines, cakes and shells. It should be a great show and a great way for me to celebrate graduating!
