People crowded the Long Center lawn, Auditorium Shores, the First Street (Drake) Bridge (closed to vehicles) and assembled on balconies and atop parking garages where they could view the fireworks. We joined friends on the 21st floor of the Chase Building at the Headliners Club of Austin to eat a fancy picnic and watch the fireworks while listening to a simulcast of the symphony playing outside the Long Center. Our friend James Armstrong had blue stripes, but when Jeannette Nassour stopped by to say 'hello' we marveled at an Old Glory belt buckle, earrings, scarf. The view of the fireworks was fabulous from our seats and afterwards we had a birds eye view of the traffic we'd avoid by walking home. (OK, we ended up going to a couple of bars.)
