America's B-Day, 2007 style.

The Fourth of July was grand.


First, there was a barbecue:



And then we went to the Long Island City waterfront:



And then Brendan and I were like, WTF Joe, you make that face in EVERY photo:



And then there were fireworks:







And then we just kept drinking and drinking. I had a vendetta against my liver (what did it ever do to me!).

ALSO, Brian made the best burgers I've ever had: He shoved bleu cheese, garlic cloves, and sundried tomatoes into the beef and then put cheddar cheese ontop and omg I loved it so much I married my burger.

I feel compelled to point out everyone is wearing a coat-- mostly because it was unseasonably cool. Joe had his sheepskin coat, for crying out loud.
