from what it looks like , its gonna be Alamo. to many unsafe people up at moapa during the 3rd and 4th.
i hope Alamo does get those Brothers containers in. i wanna make sure to have a good variety of pyro to set my boards up with i'll be taking my mortar racks with me ,i'll be looking to try out some Voodoo balls.
hey can i get those back .![]()
I think The 3rd is good for Alamo, last year it was kick back, but the 4th has to be Moapa, only because there open 24 hours and you can shoot anything. The good thing about Moapa is you have a big audience and they get all excited when you shoot stuff, G and Mac know about that.
p.s. The best time for Moapa is around 10p.m. or after, usually the maniacs are gone by then, it depends, and what is good about Alamo is you can acually set stuff up without cakes tipping over or mortars blowing up with roman candles shooting near you. most wannabe pyros at moapa dont know how to secure cakes especially the smaller cakes that tend to tip over.

Last year on the 3rd of july it was 122 degrees at moapa at around 5pm. People were outside waiting in line for 3 hours to buy fireworks.
It's like every year, just imagine how much $$$ they pull in that day! @ those prices *OUCH*
Thats why Me & casper is thinking later is better.
yeah im sure its an easy half million.thats why theres security up the ass inside an around the store. none at the launch pad.if a few people go up you can always block off a good spot with the vehicles to keep people from bunching up next to you. when i went up i went solo and it was just toooo crazy.

Yup, every year its hot as hell there at Moapa but it cools down when the sun goes down, I been going there for the 4th of july since 2006, its so hard to even buy beer there, lines are crazy. It took me 30 min to pay for it. and the firework line is yes all the way outside, all hot waiting to buy prison rape prices with no vaseline, but you GOT TO LOVE IT THERE STILL!![]()

Hopefully that wind went to bed or something. I have tons of fuse, 30 sec, 10 sec, 3 sec, and quick too......plus I wanna shoot off all these Moon Landers all at once....LOL..those are tight....Also we can use these CA's and space them out in the racks in between the Excalls in the racks.....damn...sorry for the bla bla bla bla....but We really should get this down. Plus we can make Mike some $$$ and give to the Fire Dept too.....As for whoever ordered that night and took off,,,,thats weak man......enough said there.....and for all the cool peeps.......ya allz are tight man.....anyways.....thatsit....so hope to see ya allz up there soon.
