A Rubber Raft Is the Best Idea Ever

Maybe? Anyway, Project Best Idea Ever offers you the opportunity to pay $45 (per person) for a rubber raft, a life vest, and nonspecific "dinner and beverages" (which seems to involve hot dogs) on the water this July 4. It's probably a better way to view the fireworks than going out ass-early to save a spot on the Longfellow, but you could probably also just buy the gear yourself—if not for less money, at least for the opportunity to reuse it in future years. But Project Best Idea ever has clearly appealed to some folks: it's in its fifth year, and 8pm tomorrow's the deadline for reserving a raft for next weekend. Sign up for your rubber raft today, enjoy fireworks in, er, style? next weekend.
