Obama




Last night soon after Obama gave his acceptance speech, I and the room of people I were finished joy-crying, we headed downtown. When we got there, a larger than usual crowd had formed outside of the Horseshoe Cafe. We joined them. They yelled happy things about hopeful times and a promising new president. Then they started parading up the street, in the street. We continued to join them. We walked around downtown Bellingham for something between half an hour and an hour, in the midst of a mob of hundreds parading and filling the streets. Cops blocked intersections to control the mob and the few cars that got onto the streets we took over, stuck their hands out their windows for glorious high-fives from everyone passing by.

It was really epic.
And the most a part of something political or patriotic I've ever felt...or ever thought I could feel.

Here's a couple pictures stolen from somebody else's facebook page.
