I Didn’t Get Into the Showbox Last Night Either

posted by on November 5 at 12:33 PM

So for those of you who were left outside (and those of you who want to relive the moment), here’s what it looked like the moment Sen. Barack Obama was officially declared PRESIDENT Barack Obama. (I got goosebumps as I typed that.)

All photos by Adam Weintraub unless otherwise noted.

I got in late, but arrived in time to join in the spontaneous street parade heading there.

Uh, Obama still hasn't been "officially declared PRESIDENT Barack Obama". That won't happen until January 20th.

Thanks, David. We had no idea. God what would we do without you? You're so bright.

I left right before the announcement. Bad timing. It was awesome when they called Ohio though!!
