Photos and a video from the Phillies Parade on Halloween 2008

When I discovered that the Phillies parade would begin a block away from my rather tall office building, I knew it would be an opportunity to take some more photos. Check them out.



Rode past this crowd on my bike as I was on my way into the office.



Shots from the 38th floor of 20th & Market Sts.





Heavy police presence outside Starbucks.



More from the 38th Floor. Note the Budweiser truck. That brought much crowd cheer.





The crowd outside my office building in the courtyard.



Video as the parade kicks off.



The Philly Phanatic.



People will climb like apes.





More Phanatic.





Coach Charlie Manual.



MVP Pitcher Cole Hamels.



Two coworkers getting ready to cut out of work and get wasted. I think one of them is already halfway there.
