Almost had to dial 911 just now.  Large fight outside, heard what i think was a gunshot, so i picked up the handset and was nearly dialing 911, when it seemed to calm down so i stopped and hung up the handset.

So far seems done and most of them left.  Did run over a beer bottle while parking so i will need to check my tire.  If it is flat, i likely will make the neighbor who ran the party, pay for a new tire.

I know the feeling. I don't drink. Yet, I was kept up all night by very loud explosions outside that were rattling my windows.This went on from midnight to five A M. At 4:30, some idiot ran over my city owned garbage can, and, dragged it several feet breaking the lid off.  :o >:(
I'm finally going to bed in a few minuits. Had to do my morning chores.

I had a late night also. My wife and I went to the Hard Rock Improv and saw 3 comics from the Chelsea Lately show, excellent! 2 of the 3 were really really hilarious. We stayed for the midnight celebration, there was an awesome fireworks display. We spent a little time in the casino at the slots then went home. There were some of our neighbors still outside at 2 AM with fireworks but 1/2 hour later when I walked the dog all was quiet. It was a really good night!
Kenny what are you doing up at 3 AM, isnt that past your bedtime :D

I feel your pain.  I live next to a rather rowdy bar, this is an almost daily occurrence.

At least you reached for the phone. When we lived in Southern California, we heard gunshots a lot. And my wife always wanted to look out the window, while I always thought it was a better idea to hit the floor.
But I can't put her down – I think I may be the dumbest genius around sometimes.
Life – ain't it a gas
I moved out of the city, to rural Iowa, because of the gangs for a while. Thought I was safer 'till I had a tornado chasing me down the highway one day.
I get insomnia, and can't afford cable, so it's either this kind of stuff or infomercials

Just to stick up for my home town*, I've lived in various area of Los Angeles since 1979.  I've lived in the San Fernando Valley now for more than a decade.  In all the years I have lived in Los Angeles, I have never heard a gun shot once.

*Since I've lived here since 1979, that's 32 years, and after 30 years, you're officially a native.
