Happy 4th of july!

Yes, yes I realise (with an s) that the 4th was days ago but I was too busy having a happy 4th of July to wish you all a happy 4th of July. 

My happy 4th did not include fireworks or BBQs or Beer drinking. Instead my lady friend and I went to see a screening of Jaws in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. And we all know how I love a cemetery. This particular one has some lovely palm trees silhouetted by the faint pink glow of the city around it. 

My lack of 4th fireworks was rectified on the 5th. We went to THE Hollywood Bowl to see Tegan and Sara and Death Cab for Cutie. Apparently DCFC are kind of huge because they talked the LA Philharmonic Orchestra into playing with them and had an accompanying pyrotechnic display for their finale. They were most enjoyable and the Bowl sounds incredible. My only question is where was T&S's Orchestra and Fireworks? Hmm?

I must admit that living in Sydney has somewhat desensitised me to the marvels of fireworks. Although I can now appreciate the caliber of an Aussie firework. They really are quite good.
