One of my best friends is a great guy named Bryan Crown (fellow member of the "Brain Trust"). Even though Bryan and I have many things in common, we also have some differences--particularly in the fact that Bryan is a big adventurer, whereas I am a big wuss. For example, Bryan likes to go camping, skiing, rock climbing, and caving, whereas I, on the other hand, once played a video game that had a cave in it. I became an accountant, whereas Bryan became a recreational therapist working with troubled youth. I like to watch Star Wars in the comfort of my living room, whereas Bryan could actually BE Han Solo.
(As a side note, I just realized that used the word "whereas" four times in one post. That's gotta be a record.)
The difference between Bryan and myself was again made apparent to me last night. Whereas (five times) I like to watch city-sponsored fireworks from a safe distance, Bryan likes to put on a firework show to actually rival the city's. Last night was Bryan's 3rd Annual "July-a-palooza" firework show. And believe me, each year keeps getting better and better. This year, Bryan, along with some of his other friends and family, bought approximately $700 of fireworks, tied them all together with one giant fuse, and let 'em loose. Enjoy the video of the finale below!
Like a kid in a candy store.
One fuse to rule them all!
The 3 minute finale!
Success!
Always have a bucket, just in case things get crazy.
I thought you see going to say that he was your hero because he decided not to light them because of fires this year. Oops.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, you're my anti-firework heroine! :)
DeleteKudos to Bryan. He may have missed his calling as a pyrotechnician! I'm particularly jealous as our city banned fireworks entirely.
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing. Granted, I feared for my life, but it was still amazing!
DeleteThe best part is creating it all... It is an adult version of Lego's!
