Summary: Fulton's Folly, July 4, at the Esplanade. Setup starts at 6am in the
office.
Q: What is Fulton's Folly?
A: A large group of intrepid APO brothers (and anyone who wants to come along)
descends upon the Esplanade on the morning of July 4th, so early in the morning
as to be almost the night before. This mob stakes out its territory with
blankets to protect us from the grass and tent-like tarps to protect us from
the day star. More and more brothers and friends show up throughout the day.
Snacks, drinks, games, comic books, and fellowship entertain us until the
fireworks happen, whereupon we have an excellent view. It's a Great APO
Tradition and an awesome way to spend the 4th.
Q: Shiny! I want to help out!
A: If you can commit to helping us out by showing up at the office at 6am
on the 4th, please tell me. The more people we have right away, the more
effectively we can grab space. Also let me know if you can commit to
showing up at the Esplanade by 10am so that the early crew can take a nap
(We need conscious bodies to effectively fend off the space vultures!)
Q: OK, I want to show up! How will I find you guys?
A: Walk along the Esplanade (the grass along the other side of the river)
until you see the blue and white banner. We usually try to sit near the
fireworks barge. I'll send out more detailed directions soon.
Q: I can't make it this year, but I've helped set up before. Can I send
you lots of great advice?
A: Yes! Send advice (or other questions) to me and Mandi (holmesmd)
YiLFS,
