Me, my wife, and one of our roommates went to a bar in Oakland to see Obama's speech, but there was almost nobody in there, they had the election results on the TV but on mute, and were listening to mariachi music. So we drove up the street and went to a bar in Berkeley, and it was packed with people watching Obama's speech projected onto a giant screen. Then when it was done, everybody stormed the streets and started marching everywhere and stopping traffic and climbing on cop cars and street lights and singing the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance everywhere, waving flags like fucking crazy, and there were cops everywhere, but they were just smiling and cheering and filming all the madness on their cell phones too. Young college students helped an elderly woman onto a traffic signal so she could take better pictures. We marched block to block and split into different marches. Cars would be stopped for an hour, and they'd just park and start high five-ing everybody that passed by. There was one guy stuck in his car who wouldn't give out high fives though, and just crossed his arms because he voted for McCain. Everybody laughed at him like he was the bratty sibling on a cartoon and we all marched and danced onward, into a sea of high fives, hugs, and cheers. On the way back to our car later, people had a full drumset in a crosswalk, and were drumming and dancing. Cars were stopping to high five everybody, and cars were honking everywhere. When we finally made it back to our car, there were still people stopping buses and cheering, and the buses would just honk and cheer back. Then I came home and drank a lot of vodka.
Anybody else have any fun tonight?
