I've been to it many times.
There's all kinds of food, that used to be one of the main reasons I went, though it hasn't been as good as a few years back. Live music, fireworks, stuff for kids, and Brewerkz beer.
Anyway, it's not as if there's anything else to do. I die a little bit from boredom here every passing day.....

I'll probably see you there. Maybe ZZM will show as well? Shame SE's not going be there this year. But I'm sure he'll have a good one in Houston.

Hi All,
Sorry that I am going to miss this year's festivities. I've always enjoyed July 4 and I thought it was pretty good last year at the SAS campus.
For the first time in 8 years I'll be back to what I used to do on July 4... out to Waller, in the country side... BBQ, softball, horseshoes, and fireworks.
Have fun, y'all.

Wonder if it's the same wedding my wife is going to. I rather doubt it (distant local relative), but I've been told to enjoy myself at the 4th celebration in any event. Helps getting out of family functions when you have to work a half-day on Saturday morning on the other side of the island!the lynx wrote:Damn I've always wanted to check out the Independence Day celebration around here. Got a wedding this Saturday

Apart from the beer, I'm more interested in the foodBrah wrote:I've been to it many times.

"Budget Expat"
The food has varied year to year, there's always Americana stuff like hot dogs and hamburgers, plus burritos and ribs IIRC, Blooey's used to be there with that beer-butt chicken thing they do.
For some reason I remember a couple of years back that the food wasn't as varied as in years past, with the venue change last year I can't remember if the food was any different. But in any case, it's worth it if you like that kind of thing.
Like you, for me the food is a draw. Not things I eat often, but they are fitting for the occasion and nothing like a big BBQ.

Its interesting Americans call it Independence day while Singapore and Australia call it National day. Although all 3 countries are similar, in that, all of them are "new" countries with foreigners forming the bulk of the population.
I guess the difference is Americans decided to become "Independent" and fought for it and got it! while Singaporeans and Australians let the British rule them as long as they could

I believe there are only two countries that "fought" and won their independence from the UK. The US and one of the African countries, Kenya if I'm not mistaken. All other countries were "granted" independence.Wd40 wrote:Its interesting Americans call it Independence day while Singapore and Australia call it National day.
