Dave you got guts going down there in that crowd. How long did it take to to escape out of there? Nice pics ad video.

I was alert for the crowd to turn sour at any moment. There were so many hands and arms raised in praise of the Ravens that I knew any innocent elbow could bump a drunk and accidentally begin a fight. BUT! Everyone was feeling totally together and were moving and grooving in a friendly flow.

One clown did climb a light pole 30ft from me, just as I moved out of the crowd in case any punches did fly. That clown fell off the pole, then shook it - it was fairly weak not a full sized streetlight - and a piece of plastic light cover flew off into the crowd. I had shot 2-3 secs of video of him then cut it off, because that ain't what I want to show or spread around to others who might do that at another such celebration. But you know how people are, about a-half-dozen cell phone cameras were pointed at the vandal in action. Fortunately, people around the clown gently, firmly pulled him away from that light pole.

Yup, Buzz, I was 360 degrees all around 'sniffing' for it all to go too crazy and get on out of there quick; but them folks - intoxicated as they were - were pleasantly polite in healthy-rowdy way.
