what are your 4th of july plans?

[sweetcell]

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).

I'll be laying by the pool all day.

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.)

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.

?

you have to drive somewhere in order to walk?

what kind of exurban hell do you live in?
