superflippy's Journal: Victory Party

Last night I attended the victory party for John Edwards here in SC. It was awesome, one of the best parties I've ever been to. Everyone was talking and shouting and having a good time (perhaps you saw us on the news last night). One of the neatest things about the crowd there was I could go up to anyone, say hello, and start talking because I knew by their presence at the event we had something in common.

Art Alexakis, the lead singer of Everclear, was there. He'd been hanging out on the USC campus earlier in the day to drum up support for Edwards. I got to meet him and hear him play a short acoustic set. It was awesome! And Edwards' victory speech was good, a nice new variation on his usual stump speech. He didn't speak for long, though, since he's got bronchitis.

The day before, I drew a little cartoon while waiting for a meeting to start. Here it is. Yesterday's victory restores my faith in the average person. It seems not everyone is willing to roll over and do whatever the media tells them.
