Reporting from the heart of San Francisco where its a bit like newyear’s, with massive crowds milling about partying on the street.
On the way back from an extremely busy schedule on the Deloitte Fast 50 tour to the hotel, we heard Barack’s historic speech on the radio. Our hotel is near Union Square, basically the center of SF, and the location of the Westin, which hosted the official democrat party of SF.
The first sight when we walked into the crowds was two groups walking towards each other, screaming various Obama slogans, fiercely hugging each other – then moving along. One group consisted of older african american men, the other, white women. Call me cheesy, but the symbolism wasn’t lost on me.
Unfortunately its going to be a very early day tomorrow so I haven’t gone down to some of the other ‘party centrals’ around the city, and I’ll keep this short.
Congratulations, everybody!
