Last year was probably the best...my friend and I got ahold of about 500 bottle rockets and about 400 firecrackers. Well, my friend had the brilliant idea to use some extra fuse wire he had (I honestly don't know why he did) and wire together about 50 firecrackers into a "cluster bomb". Well we built two, one for each of us, and set them in the middle of the circle he lived on...lit those bad boys and RAN. Well..it was probably the loudest explosion I've ever heard and it blew the pavement up beneath them...but it was awesome!
But I work tomorrow, so I doubt I'm going to be able to get any fireworks...bummer.
