@firefly@m.ai6yr.org Yes. We brought water, at least, but it was... not cold by the time the concert started. FWIW, the concert itself was interesting. Probably not one of the best performances they had, but it was nice to hear Brian Wilson perform (even if a few of his bandmates kept yelling "Shut up, let him play!" every so often). The other thing I remember was how much ash fell from the fireworks. It was not a small amount. From then on, we would watch from the hill over by the Pentagon North lot (because you could do that). It was also a helluva lot easier to get in and out of there.

@firefly@m.ai6yr.org Very cool, and a smart decision. Was back to living in Maryland by that point but definitely not down on the Mall. Had gone to those events many times in Jr and High School, and was seriously over people by then. It is a blistering spot. Hope you have a good 4th, Firefly, and not too much boom for the pups.
