Inauguration Panorama, Before, During and After

A fellow iPhone Panorama user made these on the Mall in DC. Just like we think of ancient Romans with the scrub-brush helmets and the 18th century British with those wigs, thousands of years from now they will think of Americans with hoodies and baseball caps.

One week later:

Ahhh, DC, so nice in both winter and summer — I can only survive there for about a week in the spring and the fall (but only two American Apparels — freedom reigns!)

And then there’s the super-zoomable monster Obama-panorama (2GB!) (warning — not taken with an iPhone…)

One nice thing about DC is The Mall — it would be nice to have a flat, open empty space to more effectively protest and celebrate in SF. Chrissy Field is too bumpy. For now, 19th and Valencia it is.

Obama Street

A buddy of mine took this picture of Bush Street newly renamed.

More here and here. I like “Obama Avenue” myself.

Eye on Blogs has a pointer to Plug1′s most appropriate unadulterated Bush Street Sign:

End Of The World As We Knew It, But I Feel Fine

19th and Valencia – Dancing in the Streets

Great video by Matt McAlister of the spontaneous Valencia outbreak of Obamptimism.

Dancing in the streets. Literally.

I love how it just builds into a complete frenzy at the end. That’s 8 years worth of pent up dancing, folks — it’s like we are that town in Footloose. (Inserting obligatory and horrible Kevin Bacon visual pun. Thank you.)

Tonight we dance. But tomorrow we work. There is some serious heavy lifting to be done. (Never mind undoing the damage done if Prop h8te actually passes.)

UPDATE — More street dancing video:

UPDATED UPDATE — Star Spangled Banner on Valencia. Damn.
