When & where

The details

Saturday, July 4 · starting around dusk

1869 Gates Ave, #1L. Ring the bell for 1L and someone will let you up.

Sun sets a little after 8:30 — show up whenever, but the sky does its thing once it's dark.

Heads up

There is a ladder

The roof is ladder-access. It's a short, easy climb and we'll be there to spot you — just wear shoes you can climb in and keep one hand free.

Translation: maybe don't bring the open cup up the ladder. Hand it to someone first. We've got a system.

Provisions

BYO whatever

Bring your own booze, seltzer, snacks — whatever you want to be holding at sunset. We'll have some things, but don't count on us to stock the bar.

This is a hang, not a rager. Think lawn chairs on a roof, not a warehouse party.

The main event

Actual fireworks

We went a little overboard on the fireworks budget. No regrets — it's the 250th, after all.

If you feel like throwing a few bucks at the fireworks fund, that's appreciated. If not, genuinely no sweat — just show up.

Getting in

Can't get in?

Ring 1L first. If nobody answers, call me. If I don't pick up — probably on the roof — text me and someone will come down.
