If you look at the date on the last post, you can see I've been pretty lazy about blogging recently, even with a couple shows to post. I've had a lot of other stuff going on that hasn't left much room for pyro and now the season is pretty much ove...

We had all the shells dropped and wire from the day before, so we started setup on the 4th at a leisurely 11am, which was pretty nice. On the to-do list was to set up the cakes and small items like strobes and fountains, set up the blast shack, r...
