It’s 3:00 am, and according to the Slog (one photo at that link has very rude language; you have been warned), at 2:30 people were still partying on the streets of Capitol Hill. For all I know, they are still out there now. Wow. There were street parties in the U District and near the Showbox as well–lots of happy, celebrating people. I haven’t seen anything like this since the Mariners beat the Yankees in the ’95 playoffs.
Unfortunately I wasn’t on Beacon Hill this evening to see how folks on the Hill spent their Election Day evening; we were up in Greenwood at a house party. So how did it go down here? Where did you all watch the election returns?
We were actually up in Greenwood too, helping a friend kill his keg left over from Halloween, watching TV, and hoping that we weren’t suffering some sort of mass hallucination. But, by the time we got home, our neighborhood was quiet.
