It was on. I went. Proudly wore PMBA t-shirt in the rain... Note to self, rain + cotton t-short = lotsa shivering.

Not a huge crowd, but it was cool and a good cause, and having half a dozen Philly Police Explorers zooming around blasting cirence at cars to stay out of our way is def a unique experience. Oh and did I say a good cause?
