After the acceptance speech, the crowds moved away from the park and spread out into the streets. There were nearly no cars, just endless waves of people pouring down Michigan Avenue. Collected, calm, and ecstatic- the unceasing stream emerged from the park, from bars, side streets, everywhere. Cheering. Chanting. Clapping.
It's a few days out and already, my cynicism has me bracing for disappointments with the administration. But I shan't forget that night. It was Big, Exhilarating and Surreal. My words do not capture the moment and neither does my video, but they're small tastes of what it was all like. You'll have to trust me on this.
(video doesn't seem to be working for now, will work on this)
