the 3rd

I checked out the scene at the Boston 4th of July rehearsal at the Hatch Shell last night, including watching the Pops drive right past me on Storrow Drive with a big police escort. The Esplanade was packed and the central seating area closed around 7; I walked around for a while before heading to Harvard Gardens for a beer and a bit of the Sox game. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry with the Pops is going to be awesome!
