November 4, 2008. Boulder, Colorado. I will never forget this incredible night.



This celebration took place at the intersection of Broadway and Pearl Street. The crowds danced in the middle of the street until the street light changed. When the cars had a green light, the crowds hurried off to the sidewalk and waited to resume the party until the pedestrian crosswalk light turned green again! "Yes we can... obey traffic laws!" one guy shouted. Hysterical.

Watch the traffic light change in this one:



Here's a fun clip of a guy giving Mike a high five:



Finally the cops arrived and everyone assumed they'd force the crowds to leave. Instead, the police closed off the street to cars! The crowd moved to the middle of the street and stayed there, and had a jubilant dance party led by a group of drummers.



I brought only my point and shoot camera last night, so I didn't take photos, but I found out that my photographer friend Steve Z was there last night and documented it all with great images! You can see them here:
