My cousin and Uncle blew off 75 Roman Candles at one time. It was awesome.







And yes the town is still intact.

Had a great time with family. Fireworks at Warner Center were rather impressive and the park atmosphere was festive.

But - still jealous of all of you. Next year in Silverlake! Strawberry Chips, tonight...

We left before Strawberry Chips! How could we?

We had such a great time! Thanks to everyone who attended and helped make it a truly wonderful Independence Day celebration.

From the amazing food from the likes of Sohrshah, NA and Pru to the fireworks soundtrack from Gn2dlnd, it was a near-perfect day. The only thing missing was the rest of the LoTers who couldn't make it. There's always next year!

Borneio, thanks for bringing your lovely 'plus one'. It was a pleasure to meet her.

Since the 1776 singalong went so well, the next movie night will take place sometime in August (date TBD), and the feature will be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Considering I spend all of yesterday singing "You're my little choochy-face....." I think that is appropriate.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like the candy man. There's something a bit off about him.

If I know the date at least 3 weeks in advance I can request the day off and finally make it to the Pods home for a screening.....LOVE Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Oh damn, now I have the song running through my head and it's going to take weeks to get rid of it.
