Annoytement \An*noyt”ment\, n. [OF. anoiance, anuiance, escitement.]
1. The peculiar mix of annoyance and excitement at being woken up by fireworks at 10:30PM on a Wednesday.

For a private party, no less. It sorta annoys me to see public places hold private events. Merely for the fact that they’re in a public space that suddenly I can’t go to. Riverfront park, the shelby street bridge. I assume that the amount it costs to rent riverfront or the gateway bridge more than covers the cost of infrastructure to support closing it off — city costs, police, etc. I hope. Right?

fireworks

Last night we went to Scott’s to grill out and stuff, because sometimes it’s nice to just grill out .. and stuff. He lives right by Love Circle, though, so we went up there to watch the fireworks with TONS of other people. It wasn’t really that great. Love Circle has a great view but it’s entirely too far away for fireworks. I took 128 pictures yesterday, and of those, this one is the best:

Faraway Fireworks

Yeah. Okay, the 12-pack of beer didn’t help things either. Then we got lost on the way down the hill and wandered around helpless through the hills of West End until we gave up finding Scott’s place and took a cab home. Good times.

Isn’t midnight a little late for fireworks? I have to work in the morning.

Fuckin’ fan fair.
