Woohoo - we won! (although I didn't even know we were playing) The head pyromaniac submitted our video to a contest that our wholesaler was running & we just received the following:

"Congratulations! You won our Capture the Moment contest for best video! The show was great, and the set-up pics and picture-in-picture really put it over the top.
The prize was supposed to be a 4-cue wireless firing system, but from your setup, it looks like you already have a pretty serious firing system. Let me know if you do want the firing system. If not, I will just credit that amount to your account for your next purchase."

So, next year might not be as painful on the pocketbook. Costs aren't too bad - neighbors all pitch in & we purchase enough (~$3k) once a year to last for three shows (New Years, and two separate parties on and around the 4th) & works out to a little over a 100 bucks per man per show. Much more "bang for the buck" than the local stand...
