    So, what do y'all have planned for the 4th?!

    I'm taking off Wednesday and Friday (so it gives me a nice five day 'vacation'). Three of my best buddy's birthdays are tomorrow, and we're all in one friend group, so we have a party at one of their place's (and they all have the 4th off), so we plan on merriment, video games, and drinking.

    The 4th itself, I'll probably be hitting up a BBQ with my same friend group.

    The rest, will be relaxation and pretending I don't have work to do. XD

    How about the rest of you? :slight_smile:

    Are they triplets? :icon_bigg

    Anyways, we are having a barbeque for the 4th with family.

    We bought two beef rib slabs and I'll probably make them using my Caribbean dry rub recipe of brown sugar, allspice, salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg that's then coated with a pineapple rum BBQ sauce. Add some corn-on-the-cob and other sides to that.

    We live close to a large military base so we'll get a nice 4th of July fireworks show.

    Don't know about the rest of the weekend, though.

    That's what's hilarious! They're not! They just happen to all have the same birthday (different years - one will be 23, another will be 24, and the other will be 25).

    And that sounds awesome! Definitely an awesome way to spend the 4th of July. ^_^

    Me and my mate have the day off, though we just plan to stay in, cook a nice dinner, and watch the fireworks from the roof of our building, over the harbour. Luckily we have a clear view over the city, and there's generally a lot on annoying people out in the city that night. I've never lived in a place I can see them form where we've lived, so it's kinda exciting, even if in a low-key way.

    I'll be working 12-9:30. If the fireworks haven't gone off here by the time I get off, I guess i'll go to the park and watch.

    Nothing.

    The last 2 years we've done nothing. xD Our neighbors invited us to join them in our backyard (It's a shared backyard with 3 other apartments) for their fireworks, but otherwise nothing.

    I plan on waking up at 5 am to go to swim practice, then hopefully I'll chill with some friends, and after that I'm going to see some fireworks show downtown.

    It's probably cleaning for the cookout that my family is planning to have with my grandmother. But instead of staying home for cookout, I plan to go to a festival with two of my friends. I'd rather spend as much time as I can with my good friend before he heads of to Japan for 5 yr (minimum)

    I have to work on the Fourth! Fireworks are probably illegal here in Colorado anyway.

    Depends on where you live, and the type of firework


    ---------
    Normally I'd light of a limited amount of my own fireworks/plus sit by the patio fire-pit & watch other peoples fireworks ... but the county where I live has a fire ban this year.

    I'm kinda thinking of going to watch one of the free professional displays tonight - maybe the one in Denver

    I was thinking of not creating fire hazards, reflecting on how much our founding fathers were sexist, racist, and heterosexist dirt bags (except for Thomas Paine, who's my homeboy), and running about two hours.
