Uh oh! Sorry--if I'd have known earlier I would have PM'd you my cell!
Well, sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up this time. Hope your trip went well and we get to meet up if you make it back this way!

The silly flash-based website was too hard to navigate and find the event information easily.

Might be able to see it from the roof of the parking garage at work.
Forgot my camera--I got some neat pics of fireworks at Fourth of July from the same place! (Well, the pictures actually sorta sucked, because it was so light...but that's also what made them neat!)

! 20 minutes long... with various styles of fireworks from the Egan Center, 5th Avenue Mall (I think) & the new muni parking garage.I brought my tripod and was all set up to take a ton of photos... (had fully charged battery, empty XD card, etc...) but it then 'died'... - it was too cold for my camera to operate
Also, right before the show, a 747 flew overhead on a strange heading... over downtown...

Kinda glad I missed the fireworks, then!
