Where are the best fireworks in LA?

Pasadena puts on a great show at the Rose Bowl. A great 30 minute show, accompanied by the Pasadena Pops. Last year they caught a couple of trees on fire outside the show, which gives you a sense of how close they were to the stadium.

Trees on fire! < insert griffith park joke here >

I'll see if the crew can make it to pasadena. How early do you need to get there?

Did you get there? We thought of you as we watched on the porch.
