When the California polls closed and the projection was - Obama! we heard a roar of cheers and cars honking from outside.
We put our shoes on and ran out to join the party. A huge crowd had gathered up the street in the intersection. There was dancing, drumming, climbing up on lamp posts, drinking, toasting, cheering, screaming and jumping. Police cars arrived with lights and sirens from all directions. But, to our great relief, they did nothing to stop the party. The cops just directed traffic around the crowds (thanks NYPD!). A beautiful night.
