obama election night footage

joe and i shot this video on tuesday night in grant park. it fails to convey the excitement or the sheer joy shared by all. it further fails to put faces to the masses, but it was dark and crowded, so what can i say? the flip camera isn't exactly conducive to night shots. but my hope is that someone may view it and kinda feel like they were there with us. joe shot most of it, which is why i'm onscreen a lot. i edited it last night, and joe picked out the song ("si, se puede" by antibalas afrobeat orchestra). enjoy & let me know what you think.



i wish i could've gotten more footage when the actual announcement was made, but we were a little caught up in the moment :)

funny, 'anonymous'. and i get your point.

but i'm going to go ahead and delete that since sometimes people such as my grandmother read this blog.

no offense.

ooooh, I am intrigued. Did anonymous need to have their mouth washed with soap? Funny.
