OneEyeCharlie Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I may have to make the jaunt. Been a while since I've road-tripped to a BFE locale. If you happen to spy a charming raconteur with a gold earring, rapier wit, & sporting a custom leather eye-patch... odds are it is I (eye).

Mumbles Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Crap, I may not be able to make it anymore. I just realized this is the same day as the UW Badger game at Soldier Field. This is going to be a tough choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be a tough choice. The decision is easy. Now if UW only played one game every two years, then it might warrant some thought. See how easy that was. Now Al will give you your pyro card back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It's not every day you can go to Soldier field and root for the good team to win without getting polish sausage thrown at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it would make you feel more at home I can arrange to have someone toss sour cabbage and kielbasa's at you. Or do you want cheeze on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Less than a month to go guys and this is really shaping up. Some of our members are putting together a Mascaletta for Saturday. It might even be on par with those at Fallas de Valencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) This is been posted on a few other forums, so I thought I would add it here. Contact these fine people for chems: Karl @ http://www.ubpyro.comPhil @ http://www.ihaveadotcom.com Phil posted that he's not planning on setting at a table all weekend so he can enjoy the fun, so pre-order what you want from him. There's also going to be some good C product available from a few businesses. We also like to thank the following sponsors for very generous contributions for a raffle or auction: Rich and Claudia Wolter donating some rocket toolinghttp://www.wolterpyrotools.com Jim Biersach from Hobby Horse is sending NEPT tubeshttp://www.hobbyhors...yro_tubes.shtml WildWilli donated 3 Lolly Pokes and 3 Pyro Pokes, these non sparking awls are a must have for anyone setting up show when you need to chain leaders and punch holes for e-match into lift cups.http://www.pyinthesky.com Sam at Capital Pyro donated a $50 gift card. Check out his site for wireless firing systems and clip style igniters that don't need storage or permits to purchase and use.http://www.capitalpyro.com Deweycoon from Remote Firing Systems has donated a 32 cue wireless firing system. These are very nice systems perfect for hobby use and for fronts or shells far away from the body of commercial shows. They're FCC compliant and very reliable. Dewey has been a long time supporter of hobby pyro clubs.http://www.remotefiringsystems.com Scott Smith from Cobra Firing Systems has donated an 18 cue wireless receiver plus remote transmitter. HPA uses one of these for the B line, and they are great systems. The company I shoot for has also used them to fire frontage and the finales in shows with a handfired body. They work great so far, and Cobra is planning to launch more products in the future. If you don't know, they feature a built in sequencer, step firing, and many more safety features. http://www.cobrafiringsystems.com Mike from TRM Pyro is donating a battery box built into a seahorse case for firing systems. See the link for the specs and more information.http://www.trmpyro.c...attery_box.html Atomic Bomb Fireworks is donating a consumer pyro care package. Look for them in the vending area. I can personally vouch for all of these products and companies. Please keep them in mind for your future pyro purchases and let them know you appreciate their support of the local clubs. These companies help keep the hobby accessible for the amateur who is not in a production environment. We also need to send a big thank you to: Ron from RKMhttp://www.usfireworks.biz Nelson from Waynes Worldhttp://www.waynesworldfireworks.com They're also big supporters of the local pyro clubs and Tri State. They both offer 1.3g product for those with the proper permits and 1.4g product for anyone. We couldn't do this event without everyone's generous support, Thanks!
