There is nothing more depressing than watching a parade balloon escape and wander off alone into the sky because it didn't have enough people holding its ropes. Organizers for the DC 4th of July Parade are looking for volunteers to help march with the balloons. We need DCKickball volunteers to make sure that Underdog, Garfield, Uncle Sam, American Eagle, and Hello Kitty don't escape the parade and then be shot down making children everywhere cry.

Volunteers will need to meet at Constitution and 7th NW at 9:00AM Friday July 4th. Volunteers will also get a free parade shirt as well. The nearest Metro stop is Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter.

We will be marching from 7th to 17th NW along Constitution and volunteers should be done somewhere between 12:30 to 2:30PM depending on where you were in the parade.

If you want to volunteer, send an email to Matt Toigo (me[AT]matt-toigo.com) with your choice of the above mentioned balloons. If we get enough people we should all be able to be placed on the same balloon. Be sure to let me know by July 3rd. Feel free to bring any friends as well, but make sure to let me know they're coming.
