Even a red carpet:
Two more kippah-wearing guests:

i'm not sure i understand all the implications of the "boycott july 4th" thing, but i'm glad you went and took pictures for the rest of us of what looks like a pretty surreal scene. what, they couldn't even get an american band? what kind of music were those sailors playing, anyway? thanks for the shots.
