Explosions, Errr, Fireworks Tonight Courtesy of Some Lame Private Event

By on August 4, 2011 9:33 pm in Brooklyn Heights

Tonight’s (8/4) fireworks are courtesy of some lame corporate event at the South Street Seaport according to Newyorkology:

Aug. 4 – sometime between 9:45 and 10:20 p.m.
Pier 16 at South Street Seaport; Sponsor: Unidentified private event managed by Legacy Marketing Partners

The display may have something to do with GE’s exhibit of its solar powered carousel, ummmm “carousolar” if you will.

Did they interfere with the movie at Pier 1 tonight?

Our pals at Gotham SideWalks just tweeted that the fireworks happened after the movie.

    The only thing better than the fireworks in the harbor are the fireworks they elicit on this site

    Yeah, why would the 11:00 news mention something that affected a million Brooklynites 45 minutes earlier. That precious minute in the newscast had to be reserved for an announcement of how J-Lo is coping with her recent divorce. Get your priorities straight people ;)

    Well, when we’re all in the dark, it will be real. I was just curious why the news outlets didn’t mention anything, that’s all. Like you said maybe it was too trivial (until a blackout occurs). You didn’t have to be a douche with your “get real” reply.

    Teddy, yes he did have to be a douche. If he didn’t we’d all think someone hacked into Arch’s computer & stole his identity.

    Actually, it’s pretty easy to put up an Arch facade. No hacking necessary.

    – Not Arch Stanton

    Mickey, you just made my evening.

    Perhaps if some of you yuppy douche bags stopped wasting so much power on inefficient things like halogen lighting or keeping 30,000 cubic feet of loft space ice cold all summer long, we wouldn’t have any power outages.

    The one and only Arch.

    The level of complaining here is unreal. These are fireworks! They are fun and exciting. But in this neighborhood, anything out of the ordinary is worth getting all worked up about, right? If you feel that the time honored tradition of peace and quiet needs to be fought for, don’t live in an urban environment. Yes, this is “America’s first suburb,” but we all know that Brooklyn is no suburb. You choose to live in Brooklyn. Please stop whining that it gets loud here from time to time.

    i love the surprise fireworks shows when no large crowds are on the Promenade it is just the neighborhood people.

    _______________Yep, that’s what I thought.

    I had a friend over for the first time and as we walked into my apartment she got fireworks outside of my window. As I am used to and not impressed by fireworks anymore its nice to impress my guests with random fireworks.
