Here's a novel thought.

HB is a freaking MADHOUSE on the 4th. I remember summers when you couldn't get through downtown and the surrounding areas. So, we need to determine:

1.) What time?

2.) At what time will parking at the beach lots become impossible? This is guaranteed to be a b!tch. People will be down there all day for the race, the parades, all that shiz. AND, if I remember correctly, the police turn into the gestapo on the 4th. (Traditionally, anyway). Does anyone else have more recent lowdown than I? I haven't paid attn to it in a few years, and don't live down there anymore, so I don't get a lot of the news on it.

3.) Who's gonna help camp out for the site and/or sites? I have a TON of bonfire wood right now, so Steve & I are planning to bring a truckload down. As this is a lot to carry, he and I are anticipating arriving early, not only to secure at least 1 pit, but to also have easier access to bringing the wood, as opposed to having to walk a few blocks carrying armfulls at a time. Because that would BLOW in a big way.

I'm figuring a lot of this site holding can be done in shifts, otherwise it's gonna be major boredom on the part of a kind few of us. Oh, and last question (but certainly not least):

4.) How many sites are we aiming for?

So -- I think those are the really big questions. Food & beverages can be managed in the town, if nothing else is planned, but we're screwed in a big way if there's no parking. I'm working a massive day, and these are my last moments online until around 7, so if someone can help me out with some of those questions, that would be fantastic.

I'll see if I have any time to look up the HB 4th festivities schedule. OR someone else can.
