If you're in San Francisco on the 4th of July, you should go check out the fireworks in the San Francisco Bay. Ideally, you'll want mooch off one of your friends that lives in Russion Hill or somewhere overlooking the water because drinknig a martini and eating your friends food is better than standing on outside with a bunch of strangers. In fact, you may want to call or IM that person on Monday morning if you haven't talked to them in a while. That way, it won't look like you're just using them for their place when you call them agiain on Wednesday. The evening of the 4th, go down to wherever you're going to watch really early. There's no parking for miles around. If you want to make an afternoon of it, here are some of the posted bands and things to do before hand.
