Last night, November 4, 2008, will go down in the history books. Not only because Americans joined together and voted for change, but because the afterparties were redic. I attended the block party on Divis between Hayes and Grove, and let me tell you- between the bongo-drum-beating boys and the 50-something-year old rapper and his DJ, it was a sight to be seen. It started innocently enough, but then as the crowd grew, the cops came and tried to shut us down. Two dirty looking kids got arrested, and Nikki got her beers taken by a cop. Finally, there were just too many people there. So you know what the cops did? They shut down the street for us, and let us rage for a few hours! AMAZING! There is something so poetic about electing a politician you believe in, standing in a bar window drinking a homemade cocktail, all the while listening to the Beatles and Ratatat blaring out from inside the bar. I ♥ America, and I live in the greatest city of all. Oh, and that's me, in all my patriotic glory...
