Happy Flour on Monday!

Counter the sourness a Monday (August, 31 5-7PM, and the last Monday of every month) brings with some sweets, as Kickass Cupcakes (map) of Somerville dishes out cocktail-themed goodies for two hours on Monday. Mudslides, Lemon Drops and Peach Daiquiris are on the menu, not to mention on the house. Should you be at the bar later, don't expect the same treatment.

2nd Annual Watergun Battle

I'm not gonna lie, this heat is getting to be ridiculous. With a lack of places to really cool off in Boston, why don't we all do ourselves a favor and just have a good old fashioned watergun battle.


Last year over 375 warriors rushed into battle, complete with marching armies, drums, fifes and bubble blowing robots. And this year, another battle is planned. But this time...even LARGER!
The battle is at an undisclosed location on Saturday, August 22 at 1:30PM.

FIRST YOU WILL NEED:
TO REGISTER HERE (very important because otherwise you will not know where to go for the battle)
1 UNLOADED water gun of your choice.
At least 3 FILLED two-liter bottles (bring more if you desire!)
1 back-pack to hold water bottles.- 1 either red or blue shirt (depending on army assignment).
Any other revolutionary paraphernalia you don’t mind getting wet (hats, flutes, etc)
As always, your fighting vigor and a bandanna!

The night before the event, emails will be sent out with army assignment and meet up location.

*Registration ends August 21st at 6:00PM. Register beforehand (or else you won’t know the location or be assigned an army beforehand! A sole soldier is a sad soldier.
