Title: A Little Bit of Riverfest
Post by: Hydrobond on September 04, 2007, 10:41:34 PM
For those of you who don't know, Riverfest is an annual Labor Day festival in Cincinnati which culminates in a stunning (and long; 40-minute) fireworks display.  This year TraderJake, The Black Perl and I were very fortunate to have VIP seats along the riverfront for the fireworks.  Here are some of the pictures I walked away with.  The Black Perl may decided to share his as well. 

The Purple People Bridge

A large ad for some drink I will prolly never try.

^Talk to TraderJake about that one...

I noticed that the forum is downsizing the pictures.  Here they are in the correct size:  http://www.hydrobond.net/index/2007.09.02/index.html

You can fork the money for that one Scott.

Thank God Urban Ohio and RF Generation both use SMF.

Those pictures are awesome Jay. Does Julie know that she is famous?
