This is the first year in a long time that I have no idea what I’m doing… I’m debating on going to the Santa Monica Pier, anyone ever been?? I love the Santa Monica Promenad but never been to the Pier before. I really want to take my puppy over there, but not sure if thats a good idea with the possibility of people with fireworks.
I must admit, I miss being a kid and going to my Aunt’s Boy Friends house where he would stock up on a thousand dollars worth of illegal fire works from mexico and we would see who could do the stupidest shit with the fire works and try not to blow our hands off.
In retrospect I would NEVER allow my kids to play with m-80’s and bottle rockets like I used to, but damn that shit was fun. underwater M80 + Swimming Pool full of girls = One good time
What’s everyone else up to this 4th and what did you used to do as a kid?
Waterskiing and wakeboarding on Lake Almanor all day. I’ll also be playing Jimi’s version of the Star-Spangled Banner at full volume over and over wherever I go.
I’m going to be rebuilding my trailer for my motorcycle, watching fireworks, drinking, eating, sweating, hopefully getting laid at one point, and then going to bed early so I can tear up the track on Monday morning.
I’m in the same boat. In the past I would go to the huge party my neighbor would have. Basically buffet style of every kind of smoked meat you can imagine, multiple kegs, and endless bottles. All followed up by shooting off illegal fireworks for a couple hours.
He’s not doing it this year, so I’m not sure what I’ll do. I guess there’s something going on in Apple River where I could get tipsy and hit on girls.

Only pussies actually shoot it out of bottles. We used to have roman candle wars (Along with black cat wars,bottle rocket wars) until some kid lost his eye to one. What better way to end a childhood tradition when some kid loses a body part.
Roman candle wars are great until you get the d-bag that doesn’t seem to understand that you shouldn’t aim them at other people heads. Nobody ever got hurt, but once neighbor kids started playing and insisted on aiming for people’s faces we stopped that tradition.
