Wednesday, July 05, 2006Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend!
Mine kinda sucked, but those things happen! ;O)
I had hoped to get some people to come down to Madison with me to check out the annual Rhythm and Booms fireworks show. The only one who was interested was Conservative Girl. Instead of coming however she chose to sit at home all day and hope they played a little 5-second "hello" from her sorta-boyfriend in Iraq. Nevermind I had the DVR set to record this for her. Can anyone else say "puppy dog?"
I hung out with the mom and some other relatives for a bit on Saturday until the fireworks were rained out. We did meet this adorable girl name Joy on the buss back though. You couldn';t help but feel sorry for her that she was only in town till the next morning and the fireworks got rained out for her.
Sunday night they got the fireworks going, though they did have one glitch part way through. Still, the fireworks were AMAZING like usual. It's always a great show to see 10,000 plus fireworks shot off to explode along with the music. When the singer talks about love, hearts explode, when they talk about rain, huge waterfall effect shells go off. The show definitely lives up to it's billing as one of the best in the nation.
Monday I came back up here to the cities hoping there'd be more going on. I ended up hanging out with G-Spot and her little brother and catching the end of the Taste of Minnesota before we showed him around to some bars in the cities.
On the 4th basically all of my plans fell through and I ended up spending it by myself playing WoW. I took a break to walk down to the hill by the Cathedral and watch the Taste fireworks from there. Also had to light s pack of firecrackers, the 4th just isn't the same without there being some possibility of lighting myself on fire ;O)
Anyway, hope you all had a kick ass time and didn't manage to blow yourselves up! Keep slacking people!
