What's your plans for the 4th of July?

[Elgin Clock]

So, what's everyone's plans for the 4th of July?
Or, if it's after the 4th of July, what did you do?

I still don't know what I'm doing.
(homework does take a priority though.)


You can choose more than one option in the poll as well...

[MattK]

Riding a segway in a parade for my Father's Campaign

[Lisa Perez]

College apps, scholarship apps, preparing my presentation for hopefully future sponsors

Oh, and starting to pack for the Frontiers Robotics Program at WPI, it's always good luck for me to pack a week before anything

[Brandon Martus]

Nothing.

Listen-To development, probably.

Aren't I exciting?

Didn't think so.

Blah.

[Dorienne]

is nothing an option?

I was planning on going to the Ben Folds, Guster, and Rufus Wainwright concert in Buffalo. But sadly, my plans fell through.. so I guess my next-best plans are to redo the backend of my site (it's a real mess) and probably working on the development for my latest project. And hopefully, build my wifi antenna. *moves laptop in awkward position to avoid dead-spots*

I am also exciting!

[MattK]

I am also going to see that band Tribute (Beatles Tribute band) from what i hear they are really good.

[MOEmaniac]

I'm goin over my uncles house and were having a family crab party (like 30 family members, 2 bushels of crabs) and then swimmin over there and then some fireworks in the middle of the street.

[Katie Reynolds]

I'm going up to Houghton, MI (read: waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up north) with my boyfriend and some friends. We're spending the weekend painting their house at Michigan Tech and just relaxing -- it should be a good time!

[Amanda Morrison]

On the 3rd, I'm going to up to the city for the Taste of Chicago, then to watch the fireworks over the water at Navy Pier. On the 4th, I'm going to see one of the largest parades in our area, because 71 will be marching! After that, probably some hanging out with the family and taking it easy.

[DanL]

To celebrate the independence of my country by blowing up a small part of it.

[evulish]

*drops match* WOOPS!

[Joshua May]

I'm going to see Spiderman 2, and redoing my team's entire website, I'm so exciting!

Make sure you don't add to your schedule, after "Watch some fireworks":

See fireworks land on the the barn
See horse feed ignite
Call fire department



Maybe I think this way because I'm from California where the land is flammable almost everywhere, except on clean pavement. We also have millions of people who use illegal fireworks, or use "safe and sane" fireworks unsafely or insanely.
