As I mentioned yesterday, I got myself a ticket to the Obama Celebration over at Grant Park in Chicago last night, and so, I went.  Along with a billion other people.  Truth be told, I couldn’t even see Obama give his speech from as far back as I was, but they had the jumbotron going, and it was pretty impressive to hear him speak, semi-in-person.  And, the atmostphere was absolutely amazing.  After the jump, a few photos I took to highlight the evening.  Oh, and by the way, I am awful at taking pictures.

The Chicago skyline telling us what country we live in.

The first family-elect on the jumbotron.

An awful photo showing how many people were there.

Obamas and Bidens. Your Executive Branch come 2009.
