...Warner, a wizened elderly resident, who offered up her front lawn - a patch of windswept dirt - for the event. Fried managed to borrow several plastic chairs from the Sea Breeze Bar across the street. A single lightbulb hooked onto a long electrical cord and suspended from an old wooden ladder was rigged up as a spotlight as Fried addressed a small group of local residents...
