Fireworks...

| Mr. Hell User Info... | I was lying down watching a movie when I heard the fireworks start up in the Inner Harbour. I didn't go down there this year like most years because I dislike large crowds (most humans are unsanitary disgusting walking cesspools) and I am always disappointed in the display of gunpowder. As they started going off, I noticed it was 9:55pm and I was thinking it may have been nice to go see them this year. I heard some loud ones going off and was momentarily glum for missing out. Then not even two minutes later the noise stopped. Victoria has a two minute fireworks display to celebrate our stat holidays. Why not just have a guy stand on the barge with three sparklers? At least it would cost thousands less and bring the same amount of joy to the citizens of this corpse-like city. Pathetic. Hope everyone enjoyed the miniscule show. - Mon, 6 Aug 2007 12:36am Edited: Mon, 6 Aug 2007 12:39am | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | No whining here. I didn't go because of the anticipation of lameness. I do enjoy sour grapes once in a while though. - Mon, 6 Aug 2007 12:32pm | ||

| Aidan Logins User Info... | Without fireworks kids will just go around smashing shit. I know I will. And I don't even do the firework thing, but I'll be pretty pissed if no one else is. - Mon, 6 Aug 2007 2:01pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | why do fireworks need to last a long time? this isn't freaking disneyland - Tue, 7 Aug 2007 1:38pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | I was too far away and way too drunk. I didn't know the fireworks were happening and started freaking out thinking it was thunder and lighting or some rather angry god. - Tue, 7 Aug 2007 2:03pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | They don't need to last for hours. But I think two minutes is pointless when you consider all the hassle of getting down there, finding parking, walking ten blocks to find a spot to sit for two minutes, then wonder why they are over after 14 blasts and trudge back to the car and fight traffic jam for 45 minutes. Obviously we don't live in Disneyland. - Wed, 8 Aug 2007 6:39am | ||
| sue User Info... | The fireworks weren't to celebrate our stat holiday but were part of symphony splash. You want fireworks to celebrate a stat...?....that's what the Canada Day ones were. Just my 2 cents. - Wed, 8 Aug 2007 6:48am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | as was mentioned, I think the fireworks were part of the end of symphony splash, since they were coordinated with the last part of the 1812 overture. so the whole point of coming downtown was for symphony splash, not the fireworks. - Wed, 8 Aug 2007 4:54pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Point taken. Stat fireworks in Victoria are still painfully lame. I stand by all my comments. How was the Symphony? They play any Henryk Gorecki numbers? Or was it all that mainstream trash from Beethoven et al that everyone has heard a billion times? (That is sarcasm in case anyone missed it.) - Wed, 8 Aug 2007 10:05pm Edited: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 10:06pm | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | Thanks for calling! Shitty I missed Tommy barfing everywhere. I'm sure I'll get to see that again though. - Thu, 9 Aug 2007 6:44am | ||
