Back From The Chicago Rally
It was an overwhelming experience, so I'm not going to be amazing with words right now.

But I just wanted to say it was nice meeting so many of you.

Tomorrow is everything, but tonight . . . tonight was something.

3. I have to get them developed!
Unfortunately, my digital camera went kaboom a few weeks ago, and I settled for a hastily acquired disposable. But, believe me, everyone there had cameras. Pictures should be forthcoming from hundreds of people before you know it =)

5. It was remarkably calm and ordered
We were getting a little nervous after our future president's speech, when a twisting mass of endless humanity poured onto Michigan and Congress. So many people so closely packed together.

But the overwhelming attitude was a sense of relief, fun, and celebration.

Plus I think all the second hand pot smoke mellowed everyone a bit, lol.
