Celebrate Good Times

This is pretty much exactly how I felt last night while traveling from the FontShop election party to another in the East Bay where Oakland’s streets were alive with celebration — honking and wooting as if we had just won the World Cup.

Wish I knew the brilliant animagician who made this. Info about its origins are welcome. I believe the poetry of Kool and the Gang is also in order. I advise watching the video and the above animated GIF side-by-side for ultimate joy factor.
