*
Details*
It's going to be family friendly with a bbq, games/sports (wet & dry) set up
and lots of Sunday recovery and chillin' going on.

We will have a full dj setup and sound system. This will not be a big sound
system. We have neighbors to think about and Sunday's are chill days. But
don't worry, you won't be let down.

The park is Pierce Mill in the Rock Creek Park system. If you want to find
it on the Rock Creek Park website, it's labeled as 'Picnic Grove 1'. It's
right next to the Zoo and not too far from the metro. It is located at the
corner of Tilden Street (same as Park Road), NW and Beach Drive, Washington,
DC 20015.

blue circle right next to it.

Directions: http://www.nps.gov/pimi/planyourvisit/directions.htm

*This is a LEAVE NO TRACE event! Don't drop your trash, put it in a trash
bag. It's really not that hard. We will have a ton of trash bags for you. If
I see you drop trash, you WILL be thrown in the creek without any regards,
and then the park police will arrest you because there's no swimming in the
creek. We are very lucky to have this spot and we must leave it the same way
we came onto it.
If you ignore the environment .. it will go away, and I like parks.

*Parking is limited! Please carpool or metro. No parking on the grass or
anything like that.
*Pets are allowed, but MUST be leashed.
*Trespassing on the dam at Peirce Mill is prohibited.
*Swimming or wading in any areas of Rock Creek are prohibited.
*Restrooms are available on site.

This is a public park, you know the rules and regulations on alcohol and
drugs. Don't be fucking stupid.

Let's get together and have a blast on a (hopefully) beautiful Sunday!
