Aren't fireworks illegal in Communist California?
Since I wasn't able to get out of work and got stuck in Chicago; Rib Fest in Naperville today. Braveing the crowd down at Navy Pier for fireworks on the lake tomorrow. Hitting up bars downtown with some friends Sunday.
Fireworks on the lake SUCK on the 4th in Chicago. They're like 10 minutes long. The 3rd is the big fireworks day for the city (to signify the battle the night before our actual Independence day).
We went on the 4th last year and were quite disappointed.
That sounds like the night I would have had if I didn't work until 2:30am. I did get to see the fireworks at Liberty State Park though. They were OK. I could hear Macy's in the distance and just from the sound they were way better.i had a pretty eventful night... started off drinking then BBQ'n.. it only took about 10 minutes after we started the fireworks to start a fire in a little field i have across the street.. fire department came, we thought the night was over.. boy was i wrong.. hahah .. lit off a ton of mortars, firecrackers, roman candles, etc.... my fiances dad tried fighting a friend of mine because he was talkin shit about his football team..lol.. .. so they ended up leaving and then we really partied.. woke up early and started cleaning up the yard (front and back) .. now just waiting for everyone to get up.. lol
