The Fourth of July in DC

For the first time, the famed rooftop of the W Hotel in Washington was only open to private party guests to view the Fourth of July fireworks. Guests drank red-themed cocktails and took turns standing under the air condition vents on the hot and humid D.C. evening.

The Honey Brothers band – whose drummer is actor Adrien Grenier who plays Vincent Chase on HBO’s “Entourage” – played original songs. Grenier didn’t seem to notice that all the girls in the room (including me) were huddled on his side of the stage to watch him play with his drum sticks and take swigs of Red Stripe beer. At one point, he held up a paper packet and said, “Look, pop rocks for the Fourth of July!” He then ripped open the pop rocks and downed them in one swallow.

When the Fourth of July fireworks went off over the National Mall, guests on the W rooftop stood three-deep along the balcony to watch the explosion of lights over the White House and Washington Monument.

    Send Belt down when Torres gets back and play Rowand every day until he comes down to earth. In the meantime, use his hot start and try to unload that contract. Huff has earned the rights to 1st base until Belt forces him to LF. That has not happened yet.

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome. Exceptional Blog!

    Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share. Many thanks!

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers
