    Default Fireworks shows?

    Anybody have any recommendations for fireworks shows this weekend? I really don't like the new BS shows with choreographed music and videos, I prefer the old fashioned blanket-on-ground-in-the-park OOOOO-AAHHH kind of shows. The way they should be!

    Grand Lake, but plan to stay well after Midnight waiting for traffic to clear up.

    Believe it or not, Black Hawk puts on a damn good show every year. There aren't many good "throw down a blanket" spots, but if you don't mind sitting in a lawn chair on top of a parking garage, the show is very good.

    Gambling isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you dabble some, it's a good excuse to come up for a night.

    How crowded does it get up that way on the fourth?

    The wife and I usually eat at her parents and then as the sun goes down we head out on the motorcycles and ride around aimlessly until we find a cool place to watch fireworks. I'm guessing finding parking for two motorcycles won't be difficult?

    It gets pretty crazy up here. If you come on the MCs, go up Golden Gate Canyon to skip all the traffic in Clear Creek and I-70. Both of those are jammed packed today (Friday). It'll be a parking lot tomorrow.

    I sit in my backyard and watch Thorntons show.
    And then sit in the front yard and watch the idiot across the street try to blow himself up.

    Bandimere speedway always has a good show. They have races all day and sitting almost under those fireworks is pretty cool.
