Last night, after Obama was projected to be the next President of the United States, we took to the streets. Bedford Avenue was filled with revelers.

Strangers were hugging each other. Spontaneous cheers and chants echoed between the buildings. People banged on drums - played bagpipes - sang - danced. It was a magical evening.

It's a great feeling being part of a historical moment.
