Post by: El Matador on June 29, 2008, 11:55:44 AM
Does this sound like a good Idea to anyone else?

Any input?

Being a fireworks fanatic, I desperately want a good spot to watch the fireworks display for the 4th. It makes sense for me then, to stick around home base that day since all of the downtown and Montrose area will be a huge clusterf*ck.

If there is enough interest, I wouldn't mind hosting something at my place. I'm pretty sure fireworks can be seen from my apt's rooftop but I'll have to scoop it out and also see if I can reserve a space down at the pool (it's a free for all and I'm guessing will get pretty crowded, espec the grills). Although if anything, we could bring my grill down to the pool from my balcony. Me thinks i've said this before, but any bikes can park in my garage for free np (sorry, not cars). If anything, we could use this as a base to walk over to the Bayou (about a 5 min walk to Sabine promenade) for anyone that is interested in the fireworks.

I'm in the process of moving though so my actual loft is a war zone.

and for all you single boys, the crowd at my pool is usually well....lets just say it has a few things up on the better looking of the crowd at Onion Creek.

Lemme know if people are interested and I'll try to get something together :-)

There's a couple of austin people in the board, They just have to be "encouraged" to speak up. Maybe you should start an austin specific thread for a get together and I'm sure you'll get more input.

There's bulletboy who just got back into Austin, he has a badass ratmonster, there's factor, I know Murduc Now known as DUDE is a stone's throw away as well.

Ooooor, If you have nothing else to do, I'm pretty sure one of us here will more than gladly have a spare bedroom for ya :)

No access to terrace at RISE anymore. B*stards! Potential sweet view from top of Parking Garage which is always abandoned but me thinks I'll just head on over to the Bayou and mingle with the masses. How many fireworks does anyone think I could successfully light on a rooftop in midtown before being arrested?  [evil]

Any and all are welcome to park their bikes in my garage and walk over to Sabine St. promenade for the festivities.

If the crowd isn't your thing, let's all meet-up for at least a few beers during the day, right?

Hey Lu, is this your first July 4th where you currently live?

I'm just asking 'cause I lived in the complex called Siena, on Allen Pkwy & Studemont. Every 4th of July the roof top parking area was prime real estate. Tenants and guests camp out early by blocking parking slots with cars, trucks, chairs, coolers even grandma on her rocking chair. Whatever they could place to save a spot to gain a birds eye view of the event below. I always enjoyed that event at that complex.

I double-dog dare you to light off some on that rooftop.

And no pansy-ass fireworks either like black snakes or sparklers.

We want M-80's.
The kind that takes off fingers and eyes.

Done deal. You supply the fireworks and I'll light 'em. I'm practicing my "look innocent" face already  [evil]

ps. M-80's haven't been legal in the States since I was 12. Time to join modern times, old man. Then again, if you can manage to procure some through other means.....

Hey sweetheart, yeah I do know that M-80's haven't been legally sold here in the States since the late 60's.
Again, you can find them if you know how to look and where to look.

So put away that Jonas Borthers CD and turn off that episode of The Hills, and start paying attention, missy.
You kids have it so easy nowadays.


Screw the fireworks.
I'm throwing a box of .45's into a trashcan fire.


And yes, old guys do rule...

Hahaha ok yes, you ARE awesome. But what are "Jonas Brothers" and "the Hills"?? Should I know these things?

ok ok I need all the Asian advice I can get - where do I get me some fireworks in this town? I would gladly wire a good explosion but am a bit short on cash these days so I'll just light a few choice good ones from the roof. Hopefully I won't get yelled at by homeless people this time like I did for New Years Eve.

Box of .45's into a trashcan fire - YES -- can we throw cans of spray paint in there too?? please please?  ;D

ps. M-80's have been illegal since the 60's??!?! Cus I definitely bought a lot of those growing up in the 90's...

and just because something is illegal doesnt mean you CANT do it.

I remember buying them in the late 70's and into the 80's.
Just like anything else, if there's a market for them... people will find a way to sell them.

And stop hassling the homeless people.
Do you like to kick little babies in the stomach too?

Asian advice?
"Calgon!  Ancient Chinese secret, huh?"
How's that?

pedobear is like a cowbell, you can NEVER have too much.

i will need an address to come to and a phone number.  ill also need to know the time and all that good stuff.  i dont know if ill come in on the 4th because there is a huge fireworks show on lake travis that night, but i may anyways.  i looked it up on mapquest and the trip looks to be around 170-180 miles with just getting general directions from austin to houston without any addresses.

i'd respond but i'm busy on the streets of midtown kicking babies.......

but seriously, partner Pedo Bear, come chill in Houston anytime. For the 4th, I'd say you're way better off hitting up Lake Travis though - much nicer than this cement sh*thole.

I'm jumping in late... can't make the meet up today but be careful if you're buying fireworks and attempting to bring them into city limits.  Sometimes undercover popo hang out near the stands at the edge of city limits and follow you for a bit to make sure you're not taking them back into the city.  BIG fine!  I'll be down in Eleanor Tinsley park somewhere for the fireworks, so give me a shout if you want to meet up.  Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!
