July 4th, 2004
Finally! I had a great July 4th! It’s been a long time. Thanks to my good friends Carrie and Pete (newly married) Frolic, I had one of the greatest views of the NYC fireworks display of all time. Carrie and Pete live in a high-rise apartment in Long Island City, right behind the old lit up Pepsi-Cola sign on the East River. Literally, the fireworks barge was 600 feet in front of us. The rockets exploded above us and the noise punched our chests. It was insane. We got some great pictures, and had some beers, and had some hotdogs (some, not 53 1/2, like some people I know…), and talked some shit. It was outstanding. Thanks kids. You can take a look at some of the pictures here.
