Last minute get together in WA

cdbtx · November 12th, 2008, 04:49 AM

A few of us are going to head up to Stilly's @ Smokey Point Saturday around 4-5pm... Just need that quick fix to get us through until New Years.. Feel free to stop by... Frank will have the store open... until we run out of cash!

The weather is actually supposed to get better this weekend, hopefully they are right!

I plan on being there, I'm getting my stuff together right now!

cdbtx · November 12th, 2008, 05:11 PM

Come on - it's not fireworks weather in Washington unless it's raining... think of it as practice for the 4th..

RPS · November 12th, 2008, 11:35 PM

I got my brother to come, so now I'll actually have a ride! Also bringing another friend with me...

Looks like I'll be bringing 3 500g, 11 200g, and buying a few things from Frank.

crowninb · November 13th, 2008, 01:00 AM

I'll be there around 4-5, gotta leave about 8.

cdbtx · November 13th, 2008, 08:59 AM

I'll probably show up early - going to bring 5 10 shot mortars and buy everything I'll shoot from Frank... kind of fun browsing the store..

So if you guys have any suggestions on anything that you would like to see... let me know..

Chuck

cdbtx · November 13th, 2008, 09:01 AM

Also - as a note. When I was up there last time Frank was out of Visco and I bought and used the last of his quick fuse. I have about 120' of sticky match and that's it... well - around 120 ematches that I'll share..

RPS · November 13th, 2008, 10:05 AM

RPS · November 13th, 2008, 07:06 PM

I'll get videos of as much as I can and take a few pictures, don't worry!

cdbtx · November 13th, 2008, 08:34 PM

If anyone happens to have any DB25 to DB25 cables laying around.. maybe you can bring them... I ordered some but it doesn't look like they're going to arrive..... I try tomorrow to find some locally... Guess at a worse case I could make some...

And what's up with the weather.... is it actually possible that it's not going to rain?

crowninb · November 13th, 2008, 10:43 PM

cdbtx · November 14th, 2008, 05:59 AM

Thanks Brice,

I'll take a run around town today to see if I can find any. I'm building a 384 cue wired system and want to test it. I only have 3 12 cue slats built so far... I'm bringing my 20 cue wireless too...

Thanks,

Chuck

tjfireworks · November 14th, 2008, 07:23 PM

cdbtx · November 15th, 2008, 10:49 PM

Special thanks to Frank @ Stillys. Saw lots of good product and was nice to see everyone... and it didn't rain!

Might have to try this again sometime after New Years...

Enjoy the videos missinglink.

I added a few comments to some of them, if you have questions about specific cakes let me know.

tjfireworks · November 16th, 2008, 05:31 PM

The videos are great. Thanks RPS. Glad the weather turned out ok, I would like to participate in a shoot after new years.

RPS · November 16th, 2008, 06:14 PM

Got a few pictures and a little report up here:

cdbtx · November 17th, 2008, 05:37 PM

Thanks for the write up, photos and videos... I'll eventually get some videos posted...

Next time I'll set up a mini-show "Phantom of the Opera" and "Music of the Night"

We have our 4th music ready to go - 22 minutes..

Phantom of the Opera - Cremoras, strobes and all Red effects
Music of the Night - Almost all Wolverine products Falling Water Chutes, Swimming Pearls or Flying Fish, Blue Pearls and a couple of special shells.
James Brown - I feel Good - All whirlwinds and spinners - very loud and busy
Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from my friends - Critical Acclaims and some surprises
Joe Cocker - Feeling Alright - Not sure yet
Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful world - Lots of high break shells
Neil Diamond - Coming to America - Waterfall and Red, White and Blue.

Most of this we will try and test up at Stillys...

Everything will be shot on the water using 3 8'x24' platforms plus a few surprises..

Always an open invitation on the 4th... Although outside being on the lake - there's really no place to fire shells..
