Greetings from the land of Ben Franklin (he would have so been on board with this)! I don't see the city of brotherly love represented properly so I am uploading the pictures I took at the event. I am calling it a picture blog because I wouldn't consider what I do with my phone anything close to photography.
I am also not good at estimating crowds but I would guess there are about 200-300 actual attendees and then quite a few people like me milling around on their lunch hour. It was especially difficult to estimate because many of the attendees were in a close huddle listing to a speaker when I arrived. The group seems to be growing as the day moves on. So far it has been a peaceful event. The Philadelphia police were pleasant toward me as is often the case.
