Site Grade: A-
Pros: Lots of variety and space (pavilion, tennis courts, fields)
Cons: Lack of lighting and some fields were not mowed, sirens and complete and utter darkness were a bit, uh, off-putting, Q is kind of a Sally
Next steps: Confirming that accident was cause of lighting outage (stoplight was out, too) and checking to see how often fields are mowed.
*Confirmed: power outage to entire area and grass was being mowed this morning and is typically mowed once/twice per week in the summer.
Next beta site test on 9/6/16. Stay tuned for details.
The PAX: Sweats (Q), Beano, Floyd, Choo-Choo, Sub-Prime, Draper, Au Jus, Gordo, Slow-Pitch, Tuco
10 fearless PAX arrived at The Big Dance only to realize that this party would take place very much in the gloom. A nearby accident created a detour and possibly contributed to a lighting outage across the park. Factor in sirens blaring and you have yourself quite the morning ambience for our first Tuesday beta site test.
