Six Clips of the 2010 Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Show
A friend and I went out to Clinton Cove Park (on Foursquare, it's Pier 95 Park) yesterday to eat, talk and, ultimately, watch the Macy's 4th of July fireworks display.
When I lived in San Francisco, I would wander down Van Ness to Fisherman's Wharf to see the fireworks show.
I decided to try out the camcorder function on my new Android phone and it's pretty good. You'll hear me and the people who were around me last night here and there. Overall, though I tried to keep my arm up (hard for minutes at a time) and my mouth shut to just enjoy the light show. For some reason, a couple next to us decided that it would be appropriate during the light show to turn on music. Odd, but in the grand scheme of things, minor.
Honestly, it's not the most exciting on tape, but live it was really nice to let go and morph into a little kid. ;)
I taped 6 clips and here they are:
Will I do it next year? Maybe.
My friend and I were pleasantly surprised at how well the crowd behaved and with the crowd control walking out of the area. Overall, it was nice to make the effort to see the show live as yesterday was my first 4th of July in NYC.
