Come out to celebrate the Fourth by watching a great fireworks show and hanging out with your YAP friends at Addison Kaboom Town!
We're going to meet up on the lawn at Addison Circle Park to picnic and socialize, tailgate-style, before the fireworks show. Parking and entrance to the event is free... Bring your blankets, coolers and picnic baskets with food and beverages (alcohol allowed) and come find the group on the lawn. Look for the UT flag we'll have hoisted to mark our location, or you can call Erin at (214) 697-8874 for help finding us.
Addison Kaboom Town is a basically a huge outdoor party... They have food and beverage booths, warplane shows, and a free movie ("October Sky") following the fireworks. There are a bunch of watching parties at restaurants and bars nearby, so an after-party may follow our party on the lawn.
We'll have an advance party skipping out of work early to spread out blankets and reserve space for the group. If you can join us (around 3:30 or 4pm) please contact Erin at erinmariemcgrath@yahoo.com so we can meet up with you. Doors open at 4:30pm, but the lawn will get crowded quickly and we'd like to be able to save a large enough space so everyone can hang out together and mingle -- so get there as early as you can and please come help us save space if you can.
********** Rain Contingency Plan **********
Some of us will be meeting at Blackfinn at Midway and Beltline for the Kaboom Town pre-party (starts at noon, live band, drink specials, for more info, check out the website at http://www.blackfinndallas.com/events/event_kaboom_jul3rd.html). We'll plan on hanging out there if it rains and planning the night from that point. Feel free to call or text Erin if you want to check our location.
