July 4 - my house as a base of operations

[vicarz]

JULY 4 - I'm inviting people over since I live w/n walking distance of explosions.

Wonderful:
Close to mall (2-3 miles depending on section), can walk blocks to Iwo Jima Marine Memorial area
AC
Parking * (see below)
Big tv with dumb dvds and cartoons. May hook up a Sega Genesis to a HD tv for ironic something something

Shit:
Parking sucks after the AM hours as the entire metro area doesn't plan and just drives to the biggest explosion display in all 50 states as if they could just park at a meter inches from the mall
Trapped - it is a madhouse of people going there and the streets close, parking fills, and you cannot come and go unless you can walk/bike/metro
It's a 2 br condo, not a house
No fizzball or Kabi. In fact, you should go there.

You are an awful salesman: "Here's a thing. Except it sucks and you don't really want it."

Not so interested in success as not hurting others' feelings.

BTW, what time can peeps start showing up?

Good question um...anytime really, but I think it would be helpful if I provided the times of expected road closures as a guide. Last year it was published at the end of June:

I mean, I hang out in my living room all the time so if people show up that's just gravy...


Since the roads here closed at 1pm, I guess noon arrival would be good if by car, otherwise it depends on the metro rail crush.

(I'm thinking ballpark noon as very early, 7-8 as good luck getting here but you're welcome to try which includes by hoof)

I plan on being in attendance. Or at least part of me. Which part do you want? I have to give the other half to Janna. Only fair really. Want me to bring something? Let me know via email. I'm thinking about coming on the Metro. That may mean that I either 1) move in for the night, 2) have an amazingly wonderful sightseeing walk home before my cardiac arrest, or 3) I need to start making my bat girl outfit so I can fly.

Coolio! Metro works, though it's like a mile and maybe point five from the stop (either Courthouse or Rosslyn). Could totally keep you if need be, though the crowd disperses pretty quickly. I also have the entire collection of PPG, Black Adder, KITH, the Young Ones, and other boring old shows to ensure our lives are wasted.
