Ah, man - I was THERE, too (behind him, on the bleachers)
Also taking video, I got some cool footage of my dad grabbing Obama's hand, however I found myself staring idly, engrossed & partially paralyzed by the *proximity* of it all, as he kept moving on...missing the opportunity to reach out, myself...
Damn. I mean, what's a better memory: some video footage, or being able to say that you actually made contact with a future president?
I was there leaning against a sewage truck. I was the Porta Potty dude.
