Subject: 40th 4.0: "we're better than canada"

Do most parties bore the crap out of you?  Have you ever woken up in the 
morning and said, "Fuck, someone get me a 40"?  Do you wish you had a proper 
holiday to celebrate the advantages that living in the US confers upon us, 
namely superiority to Canada, freely available malt liquor, and beef?

  Then you should come to 4th annual 40th of July.

  There is no bullshit at the 40th.  We start at 3PM, barbecue, drink, and 
endeavor to bring together a wack mix of rudeboys, geeks, drinkers, punjabis, 
rowers, molecular biologists, ruffians, roustabouts,  and the occasional 
consultant. We listen to the blues.  Canadians, despite the rhetoric, are free 
to voice their views, but they may find an inflatable shark adhered to their 
head or some other part of their body.  Party favors include beef patties and 
very large bottles.

   The details:
   3PM
   Saturday, August 7 (technically the 38th of July, but we got the government 
to observe it on a Saturday)
   54 Fayette St., #3, Cambridge, MA (Inman Square)

 From Central Square: head up Prospect going north, left on Broadway, then a 
couple blocks later right on Fayette.  Yellow house on the right near the end.
 
No place to park.  (You can also walk straight up Lee St. from the People's 
Republik on Mass Ave.  Lee St. becomes Fayette.)

   From Harvard: head out Cambridge St. (at the Science Center) towards Inman 
Square.  Turn right on Fayette and go about a hundred yards.  Yellow house on 
the left.

  If you're lost, call 441.5191,


   NOTE: In our ongoing efforts to bring you a better 40th every year, this 
year's party threatens to be a two-venue affair.  The location of the second 
venue is being kept a secret to protect the innocent, and because I don't 
remember the house number.  It shall be revealed to the hardcore.
