Nobody wanted to go to the fireworks with me yesterday, so I went by myself. I went down late, and there were still a lot of people walking down Western Ave. I found a perch on the stone fence, and extended my monopod, which I finally found in the Great Cleanout last summer. I took a bunch of shots, a few of which came out pretty well. I even took a short video.

A pack of foul-mouthed teenagers sat near me, and I so wanted to tell the girl on the end that she could do so much better, but I kept my mouth shut and just rolled my eyes in the dark.

The same cheesy oldies band played before the show. I do miss when the symphony used to play.

As I packed up my stuff at the end of the show, I discovered that the lens was stuck in the out position. I stuffed it in my bag to take a look at when I got home. I turned it on ("Lens Error!" it said) and off, took out the batteries and replaced them, pushed on the lens... nothing. I am bereft. I don't know what to do. What am I without a camera? Just before camp, too. I hope I can get it fixed, but I have no idea where or how. This makes me very sad. I wish I hadn't gone last night. :(
