"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.124) Obamanation!

Now due to the nature of this historic event, I know I should've taken WAY more pictures that I'm posting. However if you could understand exactly how freakin' COLD it was that day then you would also understand that I value the use of my fingers, protecting them from frost bite, so much more! Lol. The following pictures you're about to view are from that long awaited Obama Nation bus trip we've been planning and promoting for the longest. The first flicks are of Stephanie O'Conner & some friends of mine from D.C. (up in NY at the time), helping out with the giveaway bags filling 'em with love and good snacks. Based on all the drama it took to pull this thang off the trip should've been titled "We Shall Overcome" or "the Audacity of Getting Your Hopes Up" cause man, EVERYTHING you can think and the kitchen sink was thrown in our path as an obstacle, blocking us from trying to attend the Inauguration. Slowed up ticket sells, last minute bus AND ticket cancellations, 11th hour ticket request, rumors of this being a scam, you name it, it happened! But you know what? WE did it! And it was worth all the effort and misery we had to endure to get there and take our place in history. Plus we meet some REALLY great new friends along the way. I was Lead Capt. of Bus #2 and I couldn't have asked form a better group of folks (peep the videos attached). Classics black cinema, Jazz renditions of Hip Hop songs, Bus aisle fashion cat walking ("Barack the Runway"), & Disney tunes all became sources of entertainment on the way back home. Hopefully we won't have to wait another four year for another Inauguration to have this much FUN! Amanda (Diva) you's a fool for this one! Thanks for winning Obama! Thanks to all the help put this together, And thanks to ALL that rode into history with us.

"Get Off His Web" Spidy & O-Man Team Up!

No lie, I get a call eight in the morning (!) from my Moms of all people, who's a HUGE Obama fanatic! Telling me that there's some Spiderman comic book coming out featuring the Prez-elect as a character Peter Parker assigned to take pics at the inauguration. My first thoughts were "Cool, first all the magazines. Now the comics wanna cash in?" My second thought was, "Mom, this couldn't wait? I still got cold in my eye." Anyways the drop date is tomorrow (Wed.14th) so if you plan on adding yet another "collectors item" to your collection, then dress warmly while you're on line.

"Get On The Bus '08" -NY to DC and Black

I don't get. You folks DO realize that this may NEVER happen again for a LONG while right? So PLEASE tell me, why oh why are you dragging your feet, waiting to the very last minute to get yo ass on the bus? You have but 15 days and counting to ensure your place in history if you decide to join us for this memorable (one day) trip of a lifetime. The way I look at things is, you've followed and support the man this far, you may as well finish the journey by bearing witness to CHANGE. But hey, that's just my perspective of things, I'm just some blog you happen to read. It's not to late to see the "future." Click on either flier for full info to get on board. My name is the Minority Report and I approve this message.
