Happy 4th from the Chrontourage!
By Logan Youree, 1:44PM, Thu. Jul. 3, 2008
Here at the Chronicle we love a good celebration as much as the next alternative weekly, and what better time to celebrate than the birth of the good ol' U.S. of 'merica! That's right, it's July 4th again and that means plenty of BBQ, beer, sunshine, good friends (hopefully), and of course 'splosions!
Living in such an urban area means no making your own kabooms or kapows (unless you use your mouth... which could be kinda fun) so you're best bet is at Auditorium Shores town by Town Lake. There will be a massive fireworks show with a musical accompaniment by the Austin Symphony. Free to all, show starts around 8:30pm.
After you've celebrated you're independence from England and other colonial tyranny you should be ready to go America all over their asses at the Dethklok show at The Austin Music Hall on Sunday night! That's right, [adult swim]'s own animated house Death Metal band will blow the doors off of the Music Hall like the 'splosions from the days before. The Chrontourage will be there trying not be mauled by rabid fans or scalded with vats of hot coffee.
