Hanging out with thousands of show offs for days in a filthy environment with no decent plumbing and traffic jams from h*ll just to watch pyrotechnics? Then dump all your trash in the nearest dumpster and pretend you're "green"?

Yeah. You're just too cool for me. If the smartest people you know do that you might want to hang with a different crowd.

If I want pyro I'll settle for Sydney at New Years. From my balcony at the Circular Quay. If I want something cool I'll go to Sapparo for the ice festival.. And I'll pay a lot less for either even flying business.

Way too many truly nice things to do in the world that beat spending time and money on a latter day overpriced propane fueled pop festival covered in dirt.

To each their own....but don't pretend for a minute it's unique.
