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...

Bothell shoot 8-28-09

nobody@vox.com(Amn't) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:24:28 -0700

Another super late post, I suck at blogging, etc etc. I'll keep this short. This was a show with Wolverine for Bothell River Days, shot at the high school sports field. The show was 95% 1.4G, with a bunch of 1.75" salutes mixed in (Andy designed ...

Fircrest Fun Days 8-8-09

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...

On Friday I helped Wolverine on a small show in Ephrata, WA, a town I've never been to before out in the middle of the state. I only took one real picture, so here it is... Left to right we have Phil, Rod and Dan setting things up. The show was...

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

nobody@vox.com(Amn't) — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:25:37 -0700

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...

I was going to do a longer post, but it has already been a couple days and time is short! So the short version is Steve and associates are wholesaling for Hales this year, and shot a demo at the Muckleshoot Casino. PyroU folks were invited to help...

Lakewood Boys & Girls Club - Dec 10th

nobody@vox.com(Amn't) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:09:56 -0800

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 ...

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

nobody@vox.com(Amn't) — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:55:25 -0800

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

nobody@vox.com(Amn't) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:14:31 -0700

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...
