    I’ll actually be at the esplanade in Boston to see the Boston Pops and Massachusetts National Guard perform my favorite musical instrument, the M198 155mm howitzer.

      I love how the 1812 Overture was actually originally written as a patriotic anthem for a completely different country (Russia), but the moment us Americans found out it used a fricking howtizer as an instrument we decided there’d clearly been a mix-up somewhere, because this was obviously the most American song that had ever been written.

      I’ve done that before, it’s fun. Are you going to be in the hatch shell or by the water (or switch)?
