alright so, me and my girl were gonna do some fireworks in La Jolla (where fireworks are illegal). West LA is illegal too, but everyone does 'em anyway. I figured the best place would be on the highest level of the UCSD parking lot, where it is not so visible. At the risk of getting caught, we start with some small ones, and then finally light up 2 of the biggest fountain ones. They make a lot of noise and smoke, and i'm thinking, "shi-t, we've gone this far, nobody's gonna come up here". We clean everything up and dump it in the nearest trash can on the 5th floor. I'm trying to rush out of that mug, so i don't get a fine! We're coming down the 4th floor, and there's a cop car coming up. 3[/b] of 'em!! The cop asks "were you guys doing fireworks?", instinctively i tell him, "uhh no, we were just watching other people do them...", "oh ic, where did they go?", i tell him, "they already left the parking structure and went out on La Jolla Village Dr. (the biggest street)". The cop lets us go!!! i'm thinking HELL YES. i drive out of there as carefully as possible, being paranoid as hell. moral: DON'T DO FIREWORKS IN LA JOLLA. how much can a fine be for fireworks in illegal areas?

I probably heard your fireworks 10 miles up north eating some icecream with Blargon. Mellow BBQ's for days. Fuk a braek, lol.
I ate so much today...2 JUMBO patties, 2 beef skewers, chips, and 2 beers. probably amounted to close to a pound of beef.
I stuck to the chicken which was quite yummy
I forgot how good corn on the cob is, too
damn I need to get to bed
Moral: Don't go to the highest ground you can find, thus increasing your chance of being seen.
Really, you just go to a park. Besides, even if they are all shitty about it in La Jolla or whatever, just go to a neighborhood where everyone is shooting off fireworks. There are thousads of them.
yea, but i wasn't shooting anything into the air. it probably had more to do with the sound than anything.
In La Jolla, NOBODY does fireworks individually.
