I'll have the videos up on YouTube soon

Hoping to get clearer shots on Saturday for Italy, my friend will be bringing a DSLR.
Also going to try filming it all with a GoPro. :)

Hello downtown! Photos don't do justice, believe me. (Especially cell phone pics lol)

You can go on helicopter tours of the fireworks. I personally don't like it, because fireworks are designed to be seen from the ground. It is a unique perspective though.

sam0m0 08-03-2012 09:04 PM

Gazorcoop 08-03-2012 09:42 PM

They've gotta practice somehow..

seakrait 08-03-2012 09:54 PM

Cereal Killer 08-03-2012 10:17 PM

Will be at Spanish Banks for tomorrow's show. Hopefully the drive home will be quicker and will consist of less idiots than last Saturday.

Naw it was for a convention apparently
Not related to tonight's fireworks

Simplex123 08-04-2012 01:18 PM

How is the view from Coal Harbour? Is there a pretty good view of everything or are you blocked by some buildings?

Italy wasnt bad.

Traffic was retarded though, no parking anywhere, basically ran to our car after show ended to get home before the jams started.

I :lawl: at the people stopping on Cornwall Ave in their cars to watch the show.

Parking was non-existent. I parked at Balsam & W. 8th approx. That was the only spot I could find.

Italy had some cool pyrotechnics, but there were a few too many lulls in the performance, I felt.

AW607 08-04-2012 11:24 PM

inescapable tight squeeze of a parallel park :fulloffuck:

Fireworks would not be fireworks without the PITA of a struggle getting home, be it driving or public transit.. when I went on Wednesday I waited for four buses that were all full, then I just said 'fuck it, let's take a cab' :fuckthatshit:

Ikkaku 08-04-2012 11:29 PM

all the parking lots at spanish banks were jam packed... I was lucky enough to catch a car leaving while as all the other people just randomly parked on the side of the street lol

in the beginning i was like WHOA avicii :lol

LP700-4 08-04-2012 11:56 PM

We found a church somewhere up Larch that had someone with a sign saying min.5$ donation. Donated 10$ to some private charity and we were good to go.

-lincolnboi- 08-04-2012 11:57 PM

Brazil > Italy > Vietnam in my opinion. Brazil had better combos, although Italy had more familiar music and some unique moments :concentrate:

Vansterdam 08-05-2012 12:00 AM

didnt see brasil but i would say italy>vietnam>brasil

even though italy had a couple WTF error moments imo

Agreed! :fullofwin:

Italy's was by far the most creative. The crowd at English Bay totally loved Italy's.
