Fourth of July

On July 4th, we went down to Battery Park to hear Sonic Youth .

We actually got pretty close (thanks to Nicole, who'd scoped out a spot a *lot* closer to the stage).


as you can see in this picture looking the other way:


But with my new camera, what's a few hundred feet?




After the show, we were at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Until we remembered that I have a balcony! So some people came over,



Julia got serious on the grill,


Francis ate some bacon chocolate (for reals),

Bich Thu and I got silly,


etc...
and then we watched some fireworks!
