Very nice article there, buddy. Oh-my-fucking-god do I wish I was up there this past week. At least I can be proud of where I come from.

I would have gone with the "yay!" picture if I were the editor. I loved that one.

I loved that picture!

I think the editor probably thought that it didn't really reflect the actual happenings. I mean, it could have been anyone, anywhere holding up a sign that said "YAY!"

Thanks, Barb!
I agree about the "yay" picture, but I understand why they went with the one they did. The "yay" one (which I have as my wallpaper at work) could be anywhere, but the one they chose has the place and time right there on a homemade hat. A newspaperman's dream, I suppose.

How d'ya like my spider face icon?
