i'm proud to be an american! (updated)

well, actually, i'm just proud ... or happy ... to have friends who have a great roof deck with a perfect view for watching the fireworks!

i spent the 4th with britt, gabe, mara, and coche at britt and gabe's new apartment.


if you can't tell, britt is going to have her baby any day!!!


what a view!! the brooklyn bridge is so photogenic!

at least we didn't have to fight the crowds to see the fireworks ...

like these people! ha ha!!

a sample of the fireworks


ohhh ...


ahhhh ...


britt and i watching the show.


**Update**
gawker had a funny post on us hipsters watching the fireworks. i think some of these comments were spoken on the roof deck.
