Free food? I will take! Carl's Jr did a Spiderman promotion on the 4th of July where anyone dressed as Spiderman would receive a free burger. I'm game. I still have the outfit from last week and off I went!
Had a few friends over for the fourth and just as the party got swinging (no pun intended) I had to head to a kid's party playing Uncle Sam. No joke. I had no particular voice in mind just that I was broke. I didn't even see a kid for the first hour. I painted only my hand and tried to look occupied. Hey, I mean I'm still getting paid regardless.
And finally fireworks on the roof of our apartment. No, I don't mean we shot them but every single direction you looked they were going off. 360 degrees. You could see Burbank, Universal City, Sun Valley, Valley Village and Van Nuys. The occasional firework would launch from less than 100 feet from the apartment and scare the life out of the dozens of people on the roof. Yes, it's illegal, highly illegal due to the drought and dryness and the proximity of thousands of residents but on this particular day, no one cares except those of us who are in bed listening to the sounds of cannon booms as we try to sleep. Go America! Now let me go to sleep!
Until tomorrow!
