Surprised by some late night San Francisco fireworks after the Giants 2009 home opener

Posted By Hup | April 9, 2009

After dinner and some chit-chatting, Stephanie, Nic and I headed to our bedrooms to eventually crash for the night. Stephanie and I had helped Nic cook up an AMAZING Italian dinner a just a couple of hours earlier and it was all we could do to not pass out once we hit our bed. But, just as Stephanie and I started to get comfy, we heard some odd gunshot-like noises coming from outside.

BOOM! KA-BOOM!

“Ummm, what is that?”, I asked Stephanie.

“I have nooooo idea..”, she said.

KAAAAA-BOOM!

“Either someone is setting off fireworks or we’re in the middle of a civil war”, I said as I ran downstairs and looked out the window.

“NIC! DO YOU HEAR THAT???”, I yelled down to Nic, who was chillin’ in his downstairs dungeon.

K-K-KABOOOM!

“Yeah, I hear it.”, he said. “It must be some fireworks??”

At this moment we both were both looking out the windows in the living room and as we looked at each other I yelled, “Let’s go up to the roof!”

We got up there just in time to see about 10 minutes of some solid fireworks that were being let off just a few blocks away at at&t Park. Nic pulled out his camera and got some amazing time-lapse shots of the explosions, with my favorite being the one of Stephanie and I watching them explode over the buildings in the distance. Notice that she has my coat on and I have my super-sweet splint on. These shots are A-MA-ZING.

Here are some other people’s thoughts on the fireworks. Well, at least the people who are on Twitter.
