Whether you voted for or against Barack Obama, you have to admit that Chicago looked great on Tuesday night.  I was fortunate enough to join 250,000 of my close, personal friends to witness history in Grant Park.  I didn’t have Oprah cry on my shoulder, but I did get to ride in an elevator with Jeff Tweedy from the band Wilco.

It certainly was a great day for local camera crews.  According to one local trade, at least $200 million was spent on production alone.  We had several friends working incredibly long shifts to capture the moment. And the moment looked amazing.  It was beautiful fall day.  The city skyscrapers perfectly framed the rally.  The crowds were joyous and reflected the melting pot that is Chicago.  If that footage doesn’t get this town the 2016 Olympics nothing will.
