There used to be a load of stuff on the beach in Cape Town, but one year a guy shoved a fire rocket up a jack russels ass and blew the dog up, so now theres a lot less fire works :( Oh well...

Ironically, you guys are the reason we get to party on the 4th. Because we schooled you guys :D

I'm probably going to go to a friend's lakehouse, we usually party like crazy and light fireworks and stuff. But her dad doesn't let us light fireworks, espiecially after the time we watched me make a sparkler bomb. We're gonna have a big crowd going out there this year.

No.

Here's something to do afterwards: after you set off all the "block" or "cake" type fireworks, tear them apart and use the cardboard tubes for ammo. Many of them fit great in common pvc pipe (emty whistler tubes fit perfectly in 1/2" pvc).

I'll probably make some effect pyro stuff like gasoline bombs/coffee creamer bombs. I might buy some glowsticks and send them flying through the air
I still have some fireworks left from a couple years ago, actually.

Make a row of combustion cannons with short barrels for muzzle flash, and have them all wired to one switch. At the touch of a button, they all go off making a satisfyingly loud "BOOM" with a large flash of fire!
