Philipp emails us regarding the scene of fireworks at 16th and Albion last night:
“Around last call on the night of the fourth some hooligans launched fireworks from my corner (yay!) and eventually aimed at cars (nay?). Police rolled up but couldn’t find the launchers as they were dodging around in the crowd and no one pointed them out.”
If you look closely, you can actually see a firework bouncing off the hood of an SUV around :45 to-go. It also sounds like they were also tossing them at cyclists. Weak.

i was across the corner at kilowatt, and can attest that this shit was hella weak. in the course of about 5 minutes i saw a guy get hit in the back of the head by a stray bottle rocket and a cab get a roman candle flare in his undercarriage, among other dumbass moves. i was ready to duck in the door at any second, but thankfully made it through unscathed.
Why is Delirium always Ground-Zero for jack-asses? All the same contributing elements (booze, drugs, etc.) exist at other neighborhood bars, but consistently, Delirium is the only place you see colossal stupidity like this. It’s too bad because the manager, Eric, is a really nice guy who doesn’t deserve the headache.
