Wow, what fun

So on Saturday, I had a great time. My cousin Eddie, he's about 10, went to Space Camp a few weeks ago and came back with Rocket Fever. My uncle and I thought this was just a great idea and that we should support him in his newfound hobby. So, to make a long story short, this past Saturday was the Birmingham Rocket Boys - Birmingham Blast-Off, and a great time was had by all. Rocket Boys of all ages came out for the event and even a few Rocket Girls were in attendence.

I shot ALOT of video of launches, both with my digi-cam and on tape. It'll be a little while before I sit down and cruch all the video to digital, but I started working with the .mpegs from my camera tonight. There's a brief sample below. Hopefully this weekend I'll find time to crunch all the video over to digital and put it together with some Death-Rock or something to make an interesting short. I just gotta bone up on my video editing and compression skilz to avoid winding up with a 75meg video.
