I forgot you live over there -- I was at Ben's Next Door a few weeks ago, have you been there yet?

That really is just DC. This is the same intersection in which crowds erupted into spontaneous rejoicing when Obama won.

Regarding the cameras -- it was a planned flashmob-style snowball fight, so it makes sense that people would bring them. But also, this is the worst snow we've had since 1996, if I lived down there I would have brought my camera, too.
