I was in Washington, DC last night for the Deerhunter / Times New Viking show last night. The ride home through the streets of the city was perhaps one of the most incredible audio / visual experiences of my life. The show was great don't get me wrong but you can't really beat the country's capital creating a spontaneous party in the streets once the announcement had been made that Obama would be our next president. The whole city appeared to be screaming, honking, weeping, and dancing for joy. Bliss poured from every face. High-fives we being exchanged from car to car at stop lights, every car window was down, everyone talking to everyone about was a beautiful and happy this moment was not for just our country, but for the entire world.
The DC party in the streets.
