Happy 4th of July
4 July 2005 23:52Hope everyone had a good 4th of July weekend.
Saturday: Sam and I ended up going with a Japanese theme for the MS Fantasy Ball. Had a very good time, saw lots of peeps, much money was raised. Lots of great costumes, there was even a monkey :-) Sadly I didn't win any of the cool stuff, but Sam got a couple of funky hats.
Sunday: We went and partyed with a bunch of LARPer freaks and much fun was had. Alcohol was consumed, fireworks were blown up, there was drumming and firespinning. There were games, though I somehow managed not to play any.
There was also a reading of the Declaration of Independence which I found really cool. It made me think "this is real patriotism" as opposed to the crap we are fed by the media. Served as a nice reminder of what a bunch of radicals our Founding Fathers were. Thanks for helping keep that flicker that thinks this country might be worth saving alive.
Monday was a quiet day hanging out with friends. On the way home got to see many fireworks displays. When I got here the lightning bugs were doing their only little display lighting up the trees in front of the house and the stars seemed a little brighter than usual.
Blessed Be.
