July 4th plans?

Mattyk · 07-03-2008, 11:06 AM

What does everyone have planned for the weekend?

I see some BBQ and lots of beer on the horizon for me.

Tomorrow will be a quiet evening with my wife and kid, where we'll grill something and watch local fireworks.

Saturday night, we have our monthly game night with 2 other couples, where I'll drink bourbon, scotch and beer (Thanks George Thorogood) and make an ass out of myself playing Pictionary, Cranium or whatever board game we decide to play. I believe the hosts are making Korean BBQ Spareribs and Vietnamese Fried Rice. Not sure what one has to do with the other, but it sounds good.

Usually we go to the beach for the 4th, but it wasn't in the cards this year...

I'll be in Baltimore at a friend's place we're we'll have a bunch of crabs, Natty Bohs, and other barbecue-esque food. Also, we'll probably be able to see the fireworks from her place, so we may watch them from there.

Food and explosives. I'm a simple man.

Staycation for me. I am buying a new Driver and Woods and going to the Driving range. Of coarse I will have the Typical all American BBQ at the house topped off with a Fireworks display at the University of Maryland. After that I am all about relaxation and some Tiger Woods 08.

That Guy · 07-03-2008, 12:02 PM

That was the idea. My gf is from Louisiana and has never had real crabs (they boil them in LA (terrible)) and we were thinking, "what better day than the 4th." So all of us visited home last weekend so that we could get together and have some crabs on the 4th, and if we're having crabs in B-More, how can you not drink Natty Boh?

It's gonna be awesome!

We gather at a friends house which about 45 people will show up and the good part is we can walk to his house. We will have ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, and all the other stuff that goes with them. We will drink plenty of beer and then light off fireworks. It become a tradition and everyone in the area will meet out front and about 5 other guys will wheel down some pretty good fireworks. I bet we set of around $3,000 worth of fireworks with everyone chipping in a few to light off. Its illegal in Va. but even the local fire department drives down in one of their trucks to watch the show, Heck last year we had them and two police cars sitting and watching. All of the neighbors come out and they even invite friends to come and sit out in their yards to watch the show. We keep it safe and the kids and wife's stay clear of fireworks which we light off the street. The next day we spend about an hour cleaning up all the mess the fireworks make.

riggins44 · 07-03-2008, 04:56 PM

Just my oldest son (16), the dog, and I home. Will grill some tequila marinated shrimp
and fry some soft shell crabs...other than that will be quiet day.

GhettoDogAllStars · 07-03-2008, 05:00 PM

White water rafting! Can't wait.

redskinjim · 07-03-2008, 07:25 PM

i have to work for the first time in 20 years cause i work for shitty company that does not care about its people!

Lady Brave · 07-03-2008, 07:57 PM

I'll be at my mom and stepfather's place on the lake. Just grillin and chillin.

I will also spend a good part of the day making excuses to my mom why I don't want to go out on their pontoon boat with them. She gets irritated when I don't join in with what everyone else is doing. On the 4th, the lake is crowded, the water's rougher and my stepfather can't drive that boat worth a crap. He scares the snot out of me trying to park that thing. I'd much rather spend my time on the shore.

redskinjim · 07-03-2008, 08:07 PM
