Last night was an amazing night. Yesterday was an amazing day. And I am going to show it to you, without LJ cut, in pictures. It's a historic time in our lives, so deal with it.
I was spending the whole day, after voting of course, on the internet on forums and chat rooms talking to people about the election, watching MSNBC.com, and having an exciting little time by myself. Then John invited me out for a drink so when I got to Elite, it was packed and there was a line outside the door for drinks. At Elite!
After Obama's victory, we went to get some food at the Broadway Grill, then left and were on Broadway, naturally, where we were greeted by masses of people:
Broadway
Above the QFC on Broadway and Pike, we found a KOMO 4 news guy
giving a report, live on air as we stood less than a foot from him.
Broadway and Pike was crazy.
People were shooting off fireworks... which was dangerous 'cause they were
shooting them straight from the crowd, and some went INTO the crowd.
There were people climbing on street posts.
Showing their pride in our country.
There were cops EVERYWHERE but EVERYONE was drinking and getting wasted,
popping bottles of champagne and squirting them everywhere. I was one of them.
We even got to meet the victor ourselves.
We also met this incredible lady who, more than any other older person
I've ever met, REALLY under stood the younger generation and
understood the reasons to vote for Obama and to better the future
for the people who are most going to be effected by it: Us.
Eventually the cops started clearing out people .. with good reason since it
looked like there was going to be a long night of cleaning ahead.
For the first time in my life, I feel insanely happy to live in this country of ours.
