Happy 4th!

Happy Independance Day USA!
I feel like I represented America in yesturday's activities . . . sleeping in, eatting donuts, listening to folkish music, and beer, burgers and rooftop adventures.
TS, LA and I met up at Battery park to listen to Miss Wainwright and (after a minor rain delay) Belle and Sebastian. I hadnt really heard much of either before, but liked it, both very mellow. I believe it was VKT who apptly described Belle and S. as "soundtrack" music.
Later we headed to C's fancy pad in LES for a bit of a mobbed courtyard grill out then on to the 8th floor roof where UNC alumni and hippies mixed it up for a Phish accompanied fireworks display. They were beautiful*, and well timed, and bigger in the sky than when viewed from LA's Brooklyn roof, but I still didnt feel the "booms" in my chest . . . I think I may have to head down to the FDR next year to find a place to get the full fireworks display.

*and of course everyone loved the return of the smiley faces!
