Takin' it higher and higher!
Get ready to hump
the fridge, write in your gournal and party Camp Firewood style,
because Mayday is throwing a Wet Hot American Summer
party Saturday. Enjoy a summer movie marathon, burgers and dogs from the grill,
craft beers and a late-night dance party. The fun begins at 6 p.m. and
continues through the night. I want you inside me!
