Title: what are your 4th of july plans?
Post by: sweetcell on July 01, 2009, 04:26:12 pm

what will you be doing on saturday?  so far i don't have much planned so i'm looking for suggestions.

currently the only things that i'm considering are catching the fireworks on the mall (but not from on the mall itself - i'll be somewhere just north), then moseying on over to the black cat for the "4th of july funk fest" (http://washington.going.com/event-616150;4TH_OF_JULY_FUNK) - not 100% certain on the BC, tho.  anything else i should be considering?

bummer that the orb was canceled, i was looking forward to that.

Grill, beer, friends and go to Marymount to watch the fireworks at the country club (which are surprisingly excellent).

poker, beer, yelling, screaming, acting like a brat, cussing, grilling, singing, shooting off cheap, side of road fireworks, bonfire, dancing naked around it . . . you know, a usual saturday night.

Heading to Ocean City for the second leg of my vacation.  I used to avoid that place like the plague on holidays, but seeing as the 4th is also the anniversary of the day my wife and I met (at the Econo Lodge Pool Bar, no less), it's become a tradition.

I work, and it hasn't been made clear if we're closing early. Outside of that, just beer and fireworks.

Id love to go into DC but I dont think Ill make it in time for the fireworks.

Conor Oberst/Jenny Lewis at Battery Park (really, just the Jenny Lewis part, since I've missed every opportunity to see her otherwise this year.)

then...BBQ/Open Bar in Williamsburg.

I just returned from vacation w/ family - 8 days in a van & multiple airport delays - I think I'm going to hibernate. I may go see "The Hangover". I need a laugh. Have a fun and safe fourth all!

Still hoping traffic will lighten up locally so I can get outside to stretch the legs.
