The forecast is | The forecast is for room temperature weather but it might be windy. Bring enough warm clothes to stay outside for some time. Coats, sweatshirts, blankets, and things to bundle up in are a good idea. There's a 30% chance of a passing rain storm so a umbrella would probably be a good idea -- especially for later in the afternoon. Also feel free to bring delicious things to eat or snack on and drinks to keep you hydrated. We'll be providing drinks as well. | ||
Folks should feel free to drink alcohol but please be advised that this is a public place so take care to be discreet. Obviously, that means no drinking out of marked bottles, for example. We'll have copious amounts of sangria in coolers and cups. | |||
