My friend Nate had the good fortune of being in Grant Park last Tuesday evening. He scored a ticket and made his way through the throngs to bear witness to history. He is a gifted writer and precisely the kind of person we all want witnessing history as it unfolds. Take a look at his experience.

Thanks, Patrick. The night before the election I had a dream that Obama won and for some reason I ended up backstage at Grant Park and got to meet him. I could only think of one thing to say to him as I shook his hand, and it ended up being the caption on the cover illustration of the Chicago Reader that came out the next day:

Nate,
That is amazing! I definitely want to hear how you ended up backstage. I love the quote. I’m embedding the cover in this reply (you can use html, btw). Keep up the good work, my friend!
