Surreal experience here tonight. A 4th of July pot-luck at a local bar. Was a bit of a dud between the usual assortment of people and my girlfriend being in a bad mood.
As we're preparing to leave, the American organiser grabs us and drags us outside to where she's got her laptop on the side of the rood with a medley of 'Oh Canada', 'The Star Spangled Banner', and 'God Bless the USA' playing.
Her African boyfriend (?) is trying in vain to light a big stack of fireworks. Seeing our plight, a local construction crew rush over, light the fuse, and get the hell out of dodge as a volcanic eruption of confetti floods the street.
So, so weird.
