The Moon, Obama and the Jumbotron

I'm sitting on the 22nd Floor of the Cliff Dwellers with my Community Media Workshop Family.

MSNBC reports Kentucky looking a little red. We are streaming the news onto a projector and between mouthfuls of delicious cheeseburgers contemplating the evening that lays ahead.

From the windows we can see throngs of people streaming into Grant Park. The people are all silhouettes in the darkness of November. They've got the Jumbotrons up and running and people are flocking to them. We are surprised that Lakeshore Drive is still open. Perhaps, they will close it later on tonight.

They are projecting Elizabeth Dole losing her seat in the senate and it would be the first time a Dole or Bush didn't hold that seat since 1952. The moon is starting to come out and it's just the perfect night for the city of Chicago.

More soon....
