kyburgI'm off to fight with the labels again, but before I go?
Last night's fireworks rocked - even sitting outside in spitting rain, wind and less than warm temperatures. Oh, and the spaghetti monster was delicious and I'm definitely inking this event in for next year.
But lawd, something has to be done about the logistics. So many other people should have come, would have LOVED the whole experience, but you just Can't Get Anyone Into Manhattan Beach After 4:00 PM when there are fireworks. Can't. So, you kind of have to make a day of it - and in the middle of the holiday season? Bitch, please. That's asking a LOT.
I'm thinking of asking for a van shuttle next year. We'll see if the company goes for it. Seriously.

caitlin got video of the show - I hope she can post it (I've got space and bandwidth, dearling - if you need it).
The company that did the show was called Flying Monkeys and so help me, if I find a link, I'll post it.
Think fireworks done to Christmas Carols - Andy Williams, Bing Crosby and the like. GOOD ONES.
I think the corker though, was the new burst I'd never seen before - right in the middle of "Holly Jolly Christmas" - uh, Smiley Faces? The hell? SMILEY FACES?!
Yup. Bright red, green and gold smiley faces. Shit you not. We died laughing.
We parked ourselves right outside the Skechers store, so we were able to make use of the goodies (they always do something, this year it was a coffee and hot chocolate bar, flashlights and singalong music books) - but I'm here to tell you. Thermal underwear. Say it with me and be proud.
I am sufficiently cheery now. And way behind schedule. LABELS LABELS LABELS.
