In Seattle, everyone seemed
ready to either celebrate or riot.
We gathered in JedLiz's basement
to watch The Daily Show projected
on a sheet of thick white plastic
stapled to the wall. The news was
abrupt: a slide with the words
President Elect Obama appeared
on the screen without introduction.
It made a very happy birthday for
Sarah. The champagne flowed and
we pounded on drums in the rock-
out room. Upstairs in the kitchen,
Matt swilled
bourbon
from a jug.
I said, Drink like a normal person!
and poured the equivalent of three
shots into a deepish 6-inch plate.
After some damage was done, Craig
got the bright idea to set them aflame. |
