What are Your Plans for 4th of July Weekend?

I'm BBQ'ing for sure. Some ribs, some drumsticks... salsa....
seeing the fireworks either from the roof or the BH Promenade.


How about you?

Ima gonna figger that out this week.

I am a'scared of the 4th. Not professional fireworks, but jerks on the street with dynamite. I get so wound up and nervous all night that I don't have any fun, so I stay home. I can see the park fireworks from my windows, so I'm cool with that.

Oh, and BBQ one day fo' sure

sleep.

Time Out list

Shit, definitely down for the noon Nathan's contest. Check to see if the little guy has grown enough to hit the Cyclone next. Back home. Something something later.

I am going camping for the first time... and then will be hitting the beach on Sunday!!

i will prolly be unpacking my new apartment and furniture shopping (whoopie!)

What's 4th of July?

Does anyone know of a low-key, not super packed place to watch the fireworks? Last year we watched from a friend's house party but this year I'd like to just catch a glimpse then scoot back home without having to be social or go too far.

Maybe I'll take myself shopping , buy myself dinner (take out) , and then come home and watch my new netflix movies.

You can't buy them in NY or NJ. You can in PA, there are stores right across the border. But for chrissakes be fucking CAREFUL! I don't know if they are being like last year, but I wouldn't be surprised. Last year they set up undercover at the border stores in PA, and called in NY license plates. Marked cars pulled them over as soon as they crossed back into NY, and searched the cars. If they find fireworks, they will TAKE YOUR CAR. No shit.

There are ways, of course... Muhahahaha.

OMG All I want is some freakin' boom booms and jumping jacks! I can't be caught in any more illegal activity. I'm on probation yo! :-$


Daver, please tell me you're talking about the illegal fireworks. Like the M80's and sky rockets that the pros use. Not my boom booms and jumping jacks , right?

Pretty much everything is illegal, including the little guys. This isn't legal advice, but I will say that I doubt you'll get into trouble with the little ones. I heard you can find them in chinatown, FWIW.

For law-abiding citizens who'd like to end the day with a bang, "snaps," (those pellets that pop when you toss them to the ground), and "paper caps," (like the ones used in toy guns), are legally permissible.

I'm not going all the way up to Chinatown by myself for that stuff. Damn. In MI. , they sell them all over.



Thanks anyway.

Jumping jacks...Zzzziiiiiiiz.....zzzziiiiiiizzzz......

Definitely Chinatown. I saw fireworks on sale there yesterday. ALL the way to Chinatown? Girl you can be there quick quick. By yourself? Yes, by yourself. Why not?

(not that I am encouraging more people to buy fireworks....)

I got lost a few times.......

Walk the streets and wonder where the hell the subway stairs went.#-o

My sis , nephew, and bf are coming on the 18th. It's official their tickets have been bought!! I'm so siked. They want to go to Chinatown. My lil' nephew loves firecrackers so I hope they still have some at that time.Now when I get lost I'll have company.

getting lost is half the fun. go by yourself in the day time. you'll be fine.

buy some firecrackers, eat some dumplings, come home happy
