i was a little disappointed when everything was over by 8pm pst. it just felt like it was far too fast an ending to such a long and drawn out presidential race - and i'm talking from the first candidate announcing their intent to the dnc and rnc and to tonight. but then...then there was the happy riot. or riots. they're happening all over the country. i didn't know that there was one a block from me until all the helicopters showed up and didn't go away. then i just had to go out and take pictures. so i did. and it was fun. and there were TONS of people. and spontaneous chants. the star spangled banner was sung. flags and posters and stickers. sparklers. fireworks. confetti. the smell of weed. cops. old. young. gay. straight. men. women. transvestites. homeless. entitled. yes we can! beer. champagne. oh say can you see. christian. jew. shiite. punk. princess. palin. riot. happy. joy. music. neighbors. friends. community. patriotism. country. unity. history.
