Bastille Days is such a non-event. Nobody cares about French heritage or history in Milwaukee, so the "commemoration" consists mainly of drinking the same shitty beer and eating the same shitty food as every other year. I'm surprised Fatrick didn't post instead about the rack of BBQ ribs he ate, you know, that famous plat français...
It's held on Cathedral Square, one of the douchiest locations in the city, so that tracks.
Oh, I almost forgot, the one main thing that brings people out is the "Storm the Bastille" 5K run. I thought that Piggy was an avid coureur, with a record of heroic completions? That hypertension hyperextension must have forced him into early retirement.
