Eastern State Penitentiary Visit

I wonder if we should do the day visit in addition to the Halloween night show.

Julia and Sylvia aren't coming, right?

Right.

Not that I think it'd be a problem so much for Julia, but I have visions of Sylvia throwing herself on the ground kicking and screaming because she's too scared to keep walking.

Is Ania going to come with us?

Yeah. I talked to her about Sylvia and she admitted about her probably freaking out. I think Julia could hang but I don't know if Ania would say something later. I don't want to upset her since she is getting my knives cheap.

It was a lot of fun, when we finally got there. We snagged tickets last minute on Friday for midnight saturday because it was just about sold out. We went out to dinner at this really small Italian restaurant that had the best food I ever had, and then we wandered around Philly.

We were part of the last ones in there. It was a rush. The first part was Intake. You walked in through high fences with guards on top the walls screaming at you. Some of them hiding behind the fences and camo net jumping at you and shooting of air cannons.

Next was Lockdown which had you going through the building with sirens and electrified bars. There was a woman in one cage with a welding rod running it across the bars towards you when you weren't looking. They had 2 Tesla coils going on and off and that totally freaked me out. It was the worst smell ever. It smelled like lightening.

There was a 3d-ish thing going on in one of halls where you put on those prism glasses and went through uv-reflective painted darkness. At one point going straight, a guy in all black had the uv paint on him matching the walls and came right at you. It was sureal as all you saw were these painted dots flying at you.

I think the best part was the last where they gave you the mini flashlights. They put you in the dark and then fogged it up.

People were jumping at you at every corner. They especially went after the girls. Thery're not allowed to touch you and vis-versa but they creeped up to them in the dark and going "Hey!" or blowing on there necks.
