In our ever-evolving attempt to become wizened old coots who repair to our stoop with broom in hand at the very notion of noise or excitement, we would like to report that we just survived a 10-minute fireworks attack over Boston Harbor.

You will remember that back in January we were quite confused by random massive fireworks that shook our windows and rattled our souls. Just Kidding. (But not really.) Those fireworks turned out to be part of Ernie Boch Jr.’s 50th birthday party.

But, tonight? What was the occasion? I mean, it’s Monday, June 23rd.

• Celtics’ 17th Championship?

• Steely Dan Concert at the Bank of America Pavilion?

• Eight hours of death-free trips for Fung Wah?

What say you, good people of Boston?

The Boston Globe brought us sad news this morning that Regent Hotels & Resorts is backing out of the massive Battery Wharf project. Since we have neither the interest or the financial means to purchase one of Battery Wharf’s gleaming new multi-million dollar condos, we (along with many other young North Enders) were mostly excited for the new bars and lounges that were to be included with the hotel part of the project, at least one that was to be open until 2AM. Hotel bars are of course notorious for attracting cougars, and we were curious to see if droves of them would swarm down Hanover St. towards the Regent in search of stock traders and real estate magnates. Well, so much for that.

Stay tuned.

The official Ronny Turiaf poster, now on sale. But not really.

Call us crazy, but we don’t remember a goddamned word of Hillary’s stubborn non-concession speech.

Why, you ask?

Because our sides were splitting watching this kid!!!

Channel 5 reported last night that a group of street toughs went all Manny Ramirez on a bunch of cars on Charter Street early Sunday morning.

Funniest part of the story, though, is this quote:

“This happens all the time with these young kids that are coming over. They have a beer or two after a game, and if the local teams lose they get upset,” said North End resident Freddy Petrino.

Huh? A local team lost this weekend? Seems to us that the Celtics advanced to the NBA Finals on Friday night and the Red Sox swept the Orioles in Baltimore. Maybe whoever did this just had “a beer or two.” Or 12.

3:35 p.m.  and we’re rolling down Columbus Avenue.

Wifi never dropped out the entire trip.

Two thumbs up for BoltBus.

Halfway down Interstate 91 around Exit 12 and BoltBus is looking pretty good, although the Wifi has been pretty slow for the last 10 minutes.

Hanover and Prince is headed down to New York City for a couple birthday celebrations tonight, so we decided to try out the new BoltBus. We bought tickets this week for the 11:30 a.m. bus down, and the 1 p.m. back to Boston tomorrow. We are writing this from the Allston-Brighton tolls on the Pike and the bus’ Wifi is surprisingly strong so far. We’re rocking three tabs of Firefox, Google Chat and AIM, and so far, so good.
