Huzzah! The Ancients and Honorables elect a new leader
By adamg on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 12:59pm
On the first Monday of every June, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company elects a new leader, then marches from the Old State House to lay a wreath at the grave of their first captain, Robery Keayne. And that's what there were a bunch of guys in uniforms marching around downtown today.

I saw a bunch of those spear-carriers
...walking through the Common earlier today: very elaborate costumes. I was beginning to wonder if Colonial military drag is the new steampunk. Their musket and cannon fire during the parade shook the windows of my building.
You know how Curley described them?
Invisible in War. Invincible in Peace...
Horribles
They were the original inspiration for the various Horribles parades, so they get credit for adding to the fun on the 4th of July.
