since i was a little kid, i've been all about the fireworks.
at times, i'd say obsessed.
love seein' 'em, but more importantly, love setting them off.
last year, sharon and i were able to go see a great display put on by our local fire department, laying in a field as they shot them overhead. it was great!
last summer, on our way back from a week in cape hatteras with a dozen cousins, my brother and his kids and i stopped at a place in virginia and i stocked up. my nephew helped me pick out the various assortments and, since then, the two of us have been counting the days.
tonight is gonna be freakin' awesome!

so, one of the cooler things that they had at heroescon this year, was our pal scott's after school agent super-secret ashcan edition featuring a sneak peek at the upcoming issue 2! i woulda talked about this here on the blog already, but, stupid me, i forgot to pick one up at the show!! i mean, i'd talked to scott about it a few days before the show and was really eager to see it--i had seen a lot of chris' artwork for it at the new york show--and then i totally forgot to get one!! what an idiot!
fortunately, however, scott was interviewed for a podcast on comic new insider and not only gives you a great run down of what the book is about, but also tells ya where you can go online to order one!! check out scott's interview from charlotte (it's about 51 minutes into the show--about 4/5s of the way in if you're searching)

sweet - I get to post first. I only know the answer to number 2. Al Borlin. I should know the others but my thinking cap isn't on straight this morning. I just woke up. I need to wake Lexie up and figure out what the 2 of us are going to do today. I hope you and Sharon (and everyone else you 2 are sharing this holiday with) have a great 4th. Lexie wants to see some fireworks but I have no idea where to go to see them. Maybe if someone local knows and can tell me. I should be spending the forth with the extended fam but I've been alone so much lately I'm ready for some bonding time with my daughter.
Hey Todd (& everyone else, too),
Happy Independence Day,
I'm going out on a boat to watch the fireworks this year.

No idea what Rod and I will be doing tonight yet. Every year they put on a huge fireworks display at the local fairgrounds just up the road, so we may try and check that out-- I haven't been in years. Hope you guys (and everyone else) has a happy 4th!
