Bundek International Firework Festival

Saturday night, June 19, my cousin Jura invited me to go see an International firework show (I love fire!) at Bundek, a lake on the other side of town, Novi Zagreb; however, by the time we arrived it was unofficially declared rained-out even though it had stopped raining mid-afternoon. There were some serious festival event planning & coordination failures afoot that night. :P Hundreds of people still there & tons of food!

Stubbs BBQ & 4th Fireworks

After finding that our usual Iron Works was closed, we ordered out at Stubbs.

Sammy wanted to be the target of our football throwing shenanigans.

Zombie-mode Sammy. I found a stick…

I forgot my tripod (but I used my knees). The average temperature at 9:30pm in downtown Austin was 100F and humid.
