Practically every year since I received my pyrotechnic license in 1991 I am contracted to launch a Fourth of July Fireworks show in California.  You are invited to join me and the rest of the crew.  It's a ton of fun and at the end you have a front row seat to a huge fireworks show.  We will guide you in connecting and arrange the effects and shells.  Everyone gets a bitch'n Fireworks Crew T-Shirt.  Food is provided!
