A lot of east coasters probably slept through this.
Tomorrow morning will be a whole other deal, and I bet the WTC site will be a wild scene.

2. It already looks like a wild scene, as does Lafayette Park.
I was just about to go to bed here on the East Coast when I saw the news reports and had to stay up to hear Obama, the post-speech analysis, and Fox News' lame-ass praise of President Bush.

There were probably a lot of East Coast people like me, who saw the breaking news right before bed, and know they have to get up in the morning, but just couldn't go to bed till they knew the details of this story.

8. Students at Penn State Univ. have taken to the streets to revel (though it never takes much ...)
They revel at the drop of a hat at my alma mater!

7. I called a couple people.
Thankfully someone called me before the Osama news got out. I thought it would be some real bad news at first.

18. I noticed you were missing too.
Anybody that read's the DU 9/11 archive sees how prominent you are in it. And your absence was felt last night as well. :pals:

11. I went to sleep at a decent hour
Got at least 8 hours, which is great for me. I guess that's what you get when you watch HGTV!

Then I wake up and the internets blew up.

14. Probably but lots of late night phone calls were made. Particularly when we didn't know
what was going on, and he scared the living shit out of us for a half hour, haha.
