As the sun sets...

Welcome, Deadspin readers.

I'm off to refill my batteries. The freaks come out at night, and before tonight ends, I predict (another) riot.

And a few last ones

And the Obama chants have started!

Camera totally out of batteries, too bad cause there's some hilarious drunken costumed revelers out there still. Broad Street still totally shut down, and the radio is reporting that the players can't even get off the parade buses to get into the ballpark for the celebration, cause there are too many thousands of people mobbing the buses.

For the last two minutes, directly outside my window, a drunken fool has been standing down a slow-moving firetruck, Tienanmen Square style.

And more...

More...

Live from Broad and Spruce

Here's what's going on outside my window right now.

Us love lamp

I took this one in the midst of last night's fiasco, taken just outside my building at Broad and Locust. A block away, people were setting fires, breaking in storefronts, and getting their asses beat by police.

Thanks for posting it to the big board, BDD.

Meanwhile, let me just give a shoutout to Father Drunkmas here:

This guy rocked so much it really can't be put into words. He fucking owned that sweater, man.

We did us!

So that happened.

Last night was nuts. More, including photos and eyewitness accounts from Broad and Locust, later today I hope.
