July fourth fireworks

Hey CJ!
Id like to watch the fireworks with ya, or at least grab some actual food before I go on the "Con Diet" (Ramen, Pre-cooked foodstuffs with enough preservatives to kill a horse, Caffeine , etc. etc.}

what time do the fierworks start because I would like to go but not sure if my flight will make it in time

I'm thinking I'll be in early enough to see them, maybe!

If so, I am pretty sure SunShadow and Ibiza (and assorted folks) are going to be going, and so I'm probably going to tag along with them considering that my first night will be in Sun's room ;p

OK, then now we ought to think up a good spot to meet up prior to the fireworks. I would like to suggest we meet up at the steel city diner or possibly the Westin Lobby before going to see the fireworks.

Also, does anyone know the area and would like to direct us to a good spot to see the fireworks. It would have to be close enough to walk from the hotel, but not so far away that we couldn't see them at all. Gas prices are screwing us all over too much to drive a butt load of furs to see fireworks, not to mention the parking garages don't have come/go privileges so those that drove would have to pay for parking and finding a spot to park near where we watch fireworks would be a bad thing.

I honestly dont have anything against walking and I would enjoy walking a bit with a crowd of furs. I got one new fur coming with me, hes flying in and will arrive around 2, so we could easily show up on time.

So, we need two things, a location to meet up prior to going to see the fireworks, and also a location to actually WATCH them. Also need a time to meet prior to the fireworks.

I was thinking a restaurant around 6 or 7 PM to give everyone an hour to get there, get some food in yer bellies(leave the meet spot at 8 PM or so) and go watch them blow $#!& up. Plus we would have plenty of time to stroll around a bit before we would have to actually be there for the fireworks. As for a restaurant, I would suggest the Steel City Diner and I heard they had a pool on the roof/top floor of the hotel and it might prove to have an excellent view to watch the show. Though, I dont know if thats a rumor or what. Tis why im asking on here. Does anyone know where would be best to watch the fireworks.

Love to attend something with you guys, but me and my mom are going to try to see the fireworks from the Pirate's stadium... apparently, there is a game that night, and we don't want to try to shove through a crowd to watch em.

I'd love to go ^_^ um as for meeting at the dinner could work (no idea where it is), but I've seen/heard not to meet up in the lobby .. So who ever is going that has a cellphone I can call when the time hits (send it to me through the contact option here.. I've just now thought to click that) So I can follow along with you!

Some fur is Art Slave on AC boards. Most of the details are discussed on her journal.

I'm not sure if we have permission to use the convention center balcony to watch them on or not, but I know e-mail was sent to Uncle Kage asking about it.
