Well it's official! The fun has officially begun. My pyro buddy and I just placed our order with Spirit of 76 (thanks Ben!!) for our July 4th shows. Very shortly we will be waist deep in 139 cases of pyro heaven!! Lol. We had the FedEx driver confused last year. This year he's going to be downright scared! I know I am. :cool:

I hope the rest of you are getting motivated to buy. Buy early. Then buy more!!

Rick, you inspire me. I’m still watching videos for a plan lol. I need to live in 76’s parking lot so when I get an idea, I can just walk over and test my idea.

That's awesome Rick. I've been watching videos and planning myself, getting vigorously into the mood to light off something.

Said no one ever!! Lol...

The guys at SO76 are awesome. I'm sure they'd let you pitch a tent if you asked.

Do yourself a favor and check out their Class C shows from PGI last year. You can see them on my You Tube site "Pyro In Tampa" or just Google them. I got a TON of great ideas of how to put two or more different effects together to make a great show. Doesn't prohibitively add to the complexity, but it sure adds to the quality of the show!

Great!!! And i thought my ideas were to big for my budget before.!!! . HAHAHAHA.. great advice though.. watching it on 76's videos they actually label each item as they're going off too.. you did a great job too of covering the whole event there at the pgi.. nice work!! Thanks again!!! ��
