What happens with a former fireworks display company owner has a birthday? A huge show of course! I got a phone call a couple weeks ago from John asking if I'd help on a show for his birthday. I hadn't had any smoke in a while so I would have don...

Fircrest Fun Days 8-8-09

2009-09-14T01:42:26Z

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...

Renn Fayre 2009 Fireworks [Updated with high quality video at bottom]

2009-05-05T02:25:37Z

I've been posting about it pretty much since the smoke cleared from the Renn Fayre 2008 fireworks, and on Saturday May 2nd, I finally shot the 2009 show. It didn't quite live up to my high hopes because of weather-related problems, a couple script...

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 ...

2008-12-01T22:03:01Z

For the second year in a row I helped on a Wolverine show in Sumner as part of their winter holiday kickoff. Overall it was pretty similar to last year, although I enjoyed the fireworks more this time (I got salute overload last year). The weat...

Little shoot at Stilly's - Nov 15th

2008-11-17T00:55:25Z

A few of us WA guys on PyroU threw around the idea of a casual little get-together a few weeks ago and were able to make something happen on Saturday. We had maybe five PyroU guys plus a few friends, so it was a nice little crowd, though far fr...

Better late than never

2008-10-11T16:14:31Z

My wife just found an image recently uploaded on facebook from my 2008 Renn Fayre fireworks show back in May, so I figured I'd throw it up here just because it looks pretty cool. I'm not 100% sure, but it appears to be three 200g Evil Clown with a...
