Kaboom is indeed "kabomb."

In case you missed the annual KFOG Kaboom! fireworks show - they've put it up on their web site. Expect to sit in stunned silence for 10-15 minutes. Highlights include heart-shaped fireworks during "Love Shack," smiley face fireworks during "Shiny Happy People," jellyfish-shaped fireworks, excellent choreography during "Here It Goes Again" and lots of purple fireworks for James Brown. But of course.

I was fortunate enough to be on the Angel Island Ferry for the show this year. Can I just say, OH MY GOD I highly recommend that method of viewing the fireworks. All the views and noise, very few people.
