Maybe they quit their jobs, 4th of July. I saw 5 new crew members as pyro techs at Kekaha park. It felt like a million dollars taking photos of them. I could have sworn if I jumped over the fence 10 feet away from the setup fireworks, they would have accepted me. Really felt like I was one of them. I made a video of the display. It is about 12 minutes long. I felt like them. Uplifted working on the display and people watching. I know where all the shows are. Did the crew get paid? I could have sworn, looked like quit their jobs. (Laughs)
What a jerk
