Playaz dazzle Atlanta with "roman candle" display for Fourth of July
The Playaz put on an Independence Day spectacular this fourth of July with a Roman Candle display that enthralled Atlanta's citizens.
In a show that lasted well over 2 minutes, the Playaz lit and fired the illuminated powder, more commonly referred to as a Roman Candle, into the air until all 10 of the "stars" were dispensed.
A crowd of over 100,000 onlookers gathered near Atlanta's Lenox Square Mall, awaiting the Playaz incredible fireworks show. The Playaz played a Kenny Roger's CD into a microphone to accompany the pyrotechnic extravaganza.
The Playaz concluded the show with a grand finale that featured the lighting of the "snake", which starts as a small black pellet but becomes a growing black ash that produces a "snake-like" effect.

Man, that must've been something to see! (BTW, did the snake burn all the way or did you have to re-light it? I never could get the hang of those things...)

There was only one tense moment when we thought Tac's lighter had run out of fluid, but it did light and the snake burned all the way.

Yes. Luckily, Tac keeps a 55-gallon drum of Zippo lighter fluid handy at all times.

I'm sorry I missed that. I was watching Lionel Richie performing in Philadelphia instead.

Nothing wrong w/ that, Steve. Lionel & Kenny are good, good friends if you saw them on VH 1's "Crossroads".

Where can I get a Playaz Zippo? I think there's a demand for such a product.
