Weird. Just checked the schedule and the riversharks don't have a game until 2 weeks from now. There must have been something else at campbell's field tonight.

Note that they do in fact have fireworks scheduled for opening night As well as May 2, May 10, June 6, and so on.

And the booms you hear now however are thunder. I hope we get alot more thunder tonight. I'm always disappointed when I hear the first booms from the fireworks and think it might be thunder but it turns out not to be.

Thankyou, all, for making me realize my attraction to phillyblog.

It distinctly reminds me of my youth-in pennsyltucky. Nothin' better to do than whine about the neighbors not deweeding their property, yell about their dog taking a crap in our lawn, raise hell about big box stores opening miles away, and-what's that over yonder? I reckon' its fireworks, ma! Grab the kids, cause we gonna have a ho'down tonight! Ribs, watermelon, and Pabst Blue F&ckin' Ribbon, Man!!!!!

Oh, wait, there's another cross section of the bible belt. Thankyou hipsters, for making crap-beer-distributor-beer in vogue. I would say "once again", but it never really was in style to begin with, unless you count my trailer trash alcoholic stepfather. Even he upgraded to Gennesee before quitting cold turkey in the late 70's. He was always a quitter.

I do, however, still deplore you for making music popular that destroys my eardrums through the detuned meanderings of 70lb. girls who are so @ss-backwards, that they whimsically try to look and sound cute by adhering to the stylish likings of a pedophile. Such idiotic music choices completely ruined any chance of ever watching juno again, which was merely the denouement of my distaste, as it accentuated the discomfort that fellow viewers in the ritz certainly were not sponsored by speed-stick.

At least hipsters are making receding hairlines part of the coolness factor. While the middle aged world relegates themselves to rogain, is there an elixir that gives so many 20-something's stringy, waning locks to be a part of the hip crowd? Or is it merely malnourishment?

I predict a similar thread will occur on the 25th.

Was walking around when they went off. Looked like some event in Society Hill. They were being launched in that court yard of the tall condo buildings a bit South of the Ritz 5.
