  • As a one year follow-up to this entry. Be sure to read the comments!

    Much easier to take pictures with manual focus... I just needed a tripod for the long exposures.

    Can you see the deer? I had this great 30 second exposure going when a WE Energies truck rolled right in front of me.

    Thank you to my friend Matt for getting us in for free this year. A little wink-wink, nudge-nudge, and we were home safe. Last year, we had to wear in his relatives' name badges to get in free. What? Come on! It's Festa!

    And thank you everyone for yesterday's record props and comments for a day!

  • The Miller Lite Oasis is now sacred because Wilco played there.

    Yes: despite all of your brilliant fireworks pictures, that's the one I noticed first.

  • Groovy pix!  You do great work.

    ryc: Yes, I went to the EAA many, many years ago, before it became the huge event it is now.  Wouldn't mind going again, but just haven't gotten over there. 

    Ah! As I was writing this a plane came whistling (literally) over the house!  I ran out to see it, but it was already out of sight.  Must have been a really speedy one.

  • wow, this year's fireworks pics turned out spectacularly i am THRILLED with the massive amount of posting that's been going on lately!!

  • Your "thanks for the record props" really was your wink wink, nudge nudge, to us readers to continue in the tradition and comment with wild abandon.

    Oh & it's funny thinking back to hearing you talk about Festa while I was sitting in my Nana's living room. Time seriously flies.

  • record numbers of comments?? how DOES that happen?? seriously? i don't have ANYTHING do to with that.

  • I don't remember closing my eyes in that picture...

  • You should post a picture of Dave before and after his haircut as a celebration that Dave actually got a haircut.

    Dave did not pay me to write this comment.

  • That is correct Nick Crawford of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. I did not pay for that comment made by Brian Draeger of Brookfield, Wisconsin. I would not pay for that.

    But I would pay any price for a reliable place to entertain friends or a client. And when such a time arises, I take them to ESPNZone in New York City.

  • You are very funny. Have you been watching Anne of Green Gables again?

  • record commenting time, five minutes. get it down to two and i'll give you a dollar.

  • yeah. you coulda had a dollah.

    i think david bobke might riff for a bit on "nick crawford the cyborg SAT on a WINDOW? a vertical one? has he add spiderman talents to his cyborg circuitry?" etc.

    HEY! now, listen, honey, i know you're not one for making plans in advance. but can i have an exception for my visit? pleeeeeease?

  • oh yeah. Howie Day's "Perfect Time of Day" just came on my media player. I only ever liked it because you did. Steel trap!

  • Fireworks to celebrate the record props and comments, lol. Congrats!

  • Nicky baby, I love you dearly (as a friend), but please don't go throwing such words around on my site. I mean...I hesitate to rewrite it here, but here goes..."normal" is such a gutter word man! Especially when talking about me!
    ;P

  • love the irony in a few of the photos

  • By the by, you should encourage your friend Dawn! (Looks weird when I'm the only one commenting!)
