Bastille Day Special

As you can see, Eastern State Penitentiary is actually the Bastille. (With a fully functioning guillotine).
I didn't have work on Bastille Day, as I had the bakery, but I went to enjoy the festivities. Mostly taking photos, and people watching.
Got some great candids of strangers.



So many people!
Sharon coordinated the whole thing, she's been back and forth to ESP for months now with all the necessary things.
Most of the famous re-enacters were the owners of the Fairmount Neighborhood restaurants, complete with plugs and friendly but competitive nay-saying written into the scripts. Also written into the scripts were several Michael Jackson references.
Marie Antoinette and HER army!
Toby, Jack, David, Gary.
The First Twinky thrown. (Apparently we ask Philadelphia TastyCake to sponsor us every year, since our Marie calls out "Let Them Eat TastyCakes" but they decline every year. hahaha Twinkies always come through).
So Many Twinkies.
Fran hurling twinky. Soon to be photoshopped as a molotov cocktail.
Jesse: triumphant, free, Prisoner of the Bastille.
Dog.
Sean and Terry who represents the London Grill.
Vive La Revolution!
