In Texas, fireworks can be sold for about 10 days before the 4th of July and New Year's Eve. Most sales are from small roadside stands, many of which advertise "Buy 1 Get 5 Free" (or even 11). The stands are operated by a diverse group of people, who we meet. We also meet a distributor, visit a superstore, watch a semi-pro display, and even talk with a man who repairs the stands.

I caught this on IFC and enjoyed it thoroughly. It's so cool to take a small slice of life that a lot of people don't even know about (living in NJ, I had no clue there were such things as Fireworks Stands) and interviewing the people that run them... from the little kids to the old couple to the young mullet-haired dudes. I like learning about these things and these people I never knew existed. Folks in TX take their fireworks seriously. There's even a Fireworks Superstore. Who knew? I love the low-fi feel and the actual people and dialogue of the time and the place. It's about Americana... and it's entertaining.
