Fireworks
If you live nearby, fireworks at Vassar College sound like mortar and small arms fire. For the last couple of years, they've had fireworks every 2 or 3 weeks (any occasion will do - Founders' Day, Spring, Celebrate Yourself Day, etc.) and never announce it in advance. I wouldn't be surprised if there have been a few heart attacks as a result of the loud, startling rat-a-tat-tats bursting in air.

Terrific Kentucky Derby just now! If you missed it, try to see a replay. I know it was in the plan, but to see a horse make his way quietly and steadily in a strong and crowded field, from 19th . . . all the way to first was nothing less than awesome.

2007 knitting events
Festivals, outings, weekend and week-long retreats, cruises, excursions, etc. - all listed here. It's on Knitter's Review which is great anyway, but this list is really fantastic.
