The Fourth of July, but you wouldn't know it. Years past fireworks would be poppin' starting in the middle of June, and then at least a week past the 4th of July. About 11pm I thought I heard 2 gunshots let off, then I remembered what night it was. Everything is becoming Tamed.
It was 1985, the day before the 4th of July. Me, my girlfriend, and another woman was outside of The Bronx up in Mt Vernon, Westchester County. I don't remember what radio station it was, but they had Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam throwing a free concert. I do remember it was hot as fuck, and it was "Snowing". Me and my dumb ass passed out from the heat. I came to and thought I was drowning. My girlfriend had a red pail and was pouring it over me. The other woman was saying...' Uncle Mike, are you alright?'. It was the way she was saying it that made me burst out laughing. Then I was dragged away and was told by my girlfriend we had to hurry up and leave because they were about to close.
We jumped in a van and she told me that I was renting a car and that we were going to Great Adventure tomorrow. I called a friend of mine and asked him did he wanted to go, and that I had his back. My girlfriend called her sister and invited her. The car we got... A Daytona Hatchback. It was still snowing.
Halfway to Great Adventure, on the NY Turnpike, I remembered what day it was. The park was going to be crowded. But for some reason, there wasn't a line to get in. I played some games, tossing these small rings and trying to get them around a Coke bottle. I threw one and said fuck it...I tossed them one right after the other without even looking. I win the BIG ass bear. This thing was huge. That was it, I was tapped out. Me and the bear found a tree with shade, and I crashed and burned.
2 hours later I woke up. No one was around. This woman told me that if I was looking for my people, I had to go to the list and found. My pockets were empty, I was hungry, and thirsty..and had to go to the bathroom. My girlfriend had everything that was in my pockets.
We didn't leave the park until 4:30 in the morning. That bear made the trip back to NY tight. That and the hatchback wouldn't seal, or lock. Traffic was tight. The exhaust from all the cars was making me dizzy. I slept for almost 2 days. The sun came out, and it had finally stopped snowing.
People are now having drones instead of fireworks. That isn't right. What? Are they going to replace Apple Pie with Kale now?
