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 me 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
(You should be conscious 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. I'll send out more detailed
directions soon.
Q: I can't make it this year, but I'v helped set up before. Can I send
you lots of great advice?
A: Yes.
YiLFS,
