celebration on the grand is tonight. it is a celebration. on the grand river. celebration on the grand always makes me feel better about the state of the world. there's plenty to feel bad about right now regarding the state of the world. and a little party in downtown grand rapids isn't really going to change that. but still, there's something about seeing thousands of different kinds of people converging on the same small grassy knoll, eating plates of greasy elephant ears, dancing together to the music of some quasi-talented local band, celebrating the same thing at the same time and not trying to kill each other that's quite refreshing. plus fireworks are cool.
