Two hours into Stardate 0704.09 (so sorry), and the die-hards are still putting the finishing touches on our street's entry in the annual neighborhood parade, for which everyone goes all-out days in advance till the final sprint into the wee small hours of the Fourth. What you see above is but a nearly completed piece of the from-scratch product, which is a wholly impressive Enterprise. (Seriously, that is one hell of a transporter room.)
See you Sunday-ish. Till then: Happy Birthday, America. Please drink responsibly, especially at Warp Factor Six. And don't forget the ears.

Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
