“Care for a drink?”

That’s an example of something you might say to another person as you hurl a water balloon at their head.

But feel free to come up with your own, snappier catchphrase.

Keep your head on a swivel for Deep Ellum Water Balloon Wars, your chance to take over a city block, eat, drink and fling water-filled projectiles with impunity at other humans. It all goes down on August 30.

It’s like one of those summer weekends when you were a kid. Some burgers, some snow cones, some balloons to the face... Except this is happening in a Deep Ellum parking lot, there will be plenty of beer, and it excludes actual kids. Perfect.

Be sure to sign up quickly before it sells out. Then, when the day comes, wear something appropriate, loosen up your rotator cuff, calmly lock eyes with whoever’s across from you and proceed to hurl a balloon at their face.

Then just keep on doing that until you get tired.
