Er...well, for those who don't regard an Obama presidency as representing slavery, MP3 highlights from Obama's speech are up here.

Go forth and watch your new king take the throne ... for he is 'change,' your 'hope' and your SLAVERY! Wake up people.... Obama is another neocon in sheep clothing... there's a rabid beast behind that false facade... do your research, things are not going to get better, but worst

airickoo: It's not quite OC but if you're near Long Beach looks like there are people watching at Smooth's according to this Yelp post.

Hindinwood: The appearance of Springsteen is still only a rumor (as is the appearance of Bon Jovi) As I type, will.i.am and John Legend are recreating the "Yes We Can" video live. Sheryl Crow on deck. Events are "scheduled" only until 9pm MT / 8pm PT, which leaves plenty of time for surprises.... but still, the boss is only a rumor as far as i can tell.

Why is the media going on and on about the resemblance to a Greek theater? Is it (the media) trying to imply some form of stage craft or illusions of godhood? The fact is this form of public presentation works, as it did for the Greeks, because everyone around the center stage can hear the speaker. Sheesh!

nice The Barack Obama Acceptance Speech Drinking Game, unfortunately my drinking tolerance is zip. We used to do the same in college when watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Bike = 1 drink The Alamo = 1 drink, etc Drinking or no drinking I will be watching the Acceptance Speech!
