Photos from the US election night party in Leicester Square, London
Thursday, November 6th, 2008I’ve just uploaded my photos from the night to my Flickr page here.
It was so great to spend the night with friends who a) know their election stuff and b) care about it, c) make me laugh and d) don’t mind buying champagne. With a) and d) coming marvellously together when Ohio was called, and we knew it was all over. Even if many of the people around us didn’t.
And we were, I am proud to say, literally the last people (of about 500) to leave. Partly because we ended up having a row with both the security and the management about their selling us a bottle of champagne and then making us drink it in roughly five minutes. Earlier that evening, I had told Nick that “Tonight, we’re going to make history”. Nick later said that he had, in fact, made history – because it’s the first time he’s ever been escorted out of a venue by a bouncer.
