The big thing to do in Austin on July 4th is to go downtown to Zilker Park to watch the big fireworks display. With a crowd anticipated to be as large as 100,000 people, we decided not to go there yesterday. Instead, we went to our new hangout, Lake Pflugerville, which has it's own, albeit smaller, fireworks show. Rather than deal with crowds of a hundred thousand, this gathering seemed more like ten thousand, although it still took us an hour to get out of the parking lot.
Okay, it didn't have all the hipsters running around, and it didn't have the "Austin Symphony Orchestra." Rather, Lake Pflugerville had the "Austin Civic Wind Ensemble" and drunken weirdos kissing live snakes. Still, fun was had by all!
Well, that sounds almost like more fun. I mean, how often do you get to see weirdoes kissing snakes? LOL
