19th and Valencia – Dancing in the Streets
November 5, 2008
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.

Good street shots from Elizabeth.
Wow – Star Spangled Banner on Valencia. Send that to your friends in red states.
And the best still shot of the night.
how utterly embarrassing for all people involved. to be this enthusiastic (see: brainwashed) about a political puppet is pretty sad, but to look back now and realize you acted like this just before your hero went on to be, well, just as bad as his predecessor has got to be downright shameful. no, i’m not a republican. yes, you should at least realize NOW that politicians are politicians…don’t let another slick talker convince you that they’re going to give you “hope” and “change”.
