Cheers to Melissa and Record Store Rick for inviting us to their house this 4th o’ July. Their Hunter’s Point roof was, no joke, the perfect place to watch the fireworks.

Here we are on the way to the party. Who’s puss is more ridiculous, mine or Ann’s?:

Fireworks are hard to photograph with a so-so camera like mine, but that didn’t stop me from trying:

After the fireworks were done, the sky was taken over by a thick blanket of smoke. Are fireworks approved by the EPA?

Later in Melissa’s apt. things got a little nutty with the Blueberry, Pomegranate and Vodka cocktails. Here’s Melissa, Kayte, Kevin and AMF making sultry faces:

Ann and Kevin engage in that fairly new party ritual — checking digital photos as soon as they are taken:

Melissa Stahl a/k/a Big Momma makes a kissy face. Upon examination of the photo she shouted, “It’s awful! I love it!!!”:
