      I love how the 1812 Overture was actually originally written as a patriotic anthem for a completely different country (Russia), but the moment us Americans found out it used a fricking howtizer as an instrument we decided there’d clearly been a mix-up somewhere, because this was obviously the most American song that had ever been written.

      I’ve done that before, it’s fun. Are you going to be in the hatch shell or by the water (or switch)?

          We switched once quickly during the last song and sprinted to our blanket, but it was hectic and I don’t recommend it.

          But yeah I saw the smoke on the livestream, barely any wind. Too bad. I hope you had fun the rest of the day.
