Fireworks are also way more impressive in person-- not just the higher image definition of your retina compared to a camera, but booming explosive sounds, and even feeling the compression waves hit you and shake the ground if you're close to the big ones.

On a side note, watching 'em on TV is not so bad, especially the new years ones, where it's so damn cold outside. My first date with Ameryll-sama was watching fireworks on TV.

I'd go with you, but there's this pesky ocean in the way, and I don't have a giant orbital laser to turn it into steam to get it out the way.
