Posted September 4, 200618 yr So rather than braving the crowds, and following in the proud Opening Day RiverViewer tradition, here's my view of the fireworks this year: With the lights off: Channel 12 was amazing this year - the fireworks came right out of the TV screen! Our rambunctious Abyssinian was on top of the TV cabinet, and noticed all the colors, so she poked her head over and was staring at the show! ...but my fat old cat couldn't have cared less: My wife and Issue430 walked up to the upper overlook at Eden Park - seems like there's always tons and tons of people, parking up to a half mile away, and while I wasn't going anywhere, they wanted to see what they could see...turns out, they could see about nothing. Lots of people: ...including some in pretty remarkable heels, considering the walk back she had in store: ...but other than some colors lighting the sky, they said you couldn't see anything... Regarding the show - Bootsy Collins rocks, ending with Carmina Burana was fantastic, and the L&N waterfall hitting at the end of "The End" by the Beatles was just frickin' inspired...wonderful, wonderful show...I can't wait to see other folks' photo threads!
September 4, 200618 yr They say it's the best view in the city! Plus, I got to sip a bourbon on the rocks, and replay the best parts over and over!

September 4, 200618 yr Riverviewer you turned us down for this? HA Well, we already had the dinner plans was the thing...an evening of cooking and drinking and cards and whatnot... You are the king of deceiving threads. Hey, I'm just being honest!
September 4, 200618 yr ^so that is what the "hdtv" hype is all about. man, i so gotta get me one! :laugh:
September 4, 200618 yr Hearing and feeling the loud bang noise is half the experience. You can't get that from TV. Kinda like Cincinnati being hit by ballistic missiles. Except...that wouldn't be cool.
