police shut down speakers outside storefront for art and architecture

similar scenes in williamsburg last night, apparently. i got messages that there were fireworks at some point. much celebration going on in the street. i txted and called everyone i could think of - we are so proud. tears and champagne.

later last night i got txts that there was rioting in williamsburg. i read on gothamist that it was just a celebration, maybe a few bottles being thrown, until nypd showed up in full riot gear. that apparently made everyone angry.

i'll be waiting to read what went down in my neighboring hood. we went outside when the race was called and there was no one on the streets of greenpoint. at least not on kingsland. got up early this morning to go get some papers before they sell out.

what a night. we've done it!
