I just had to be there. I was excited for the Tribeca Film Festival, but when I got turned away from the opening night gala and had a craving for chicken, I knew that I absolutely HAD to go to Washington Square Park to see #Bernie #Sanders (and get Chick-fil-A).

Jane Fonda and Jason? Something? |
I mean, how many chances do you get to see the eventual runner-up of the Democratic Party??! I daresay the number is as low as about 20 (assuming you live for about 80 years and there's an election every four years).

Bernie is the white blob to the left of the arch. |
After entering the park and wading through a crowd of unenthusiastic #Bernie supporters, I reached a point where I could just barely see the stage. I listened through Rosaria Dawson and Spike Lee sing praises about the man before inaudible music blasted and someone else walked out.
I wasn't quite sure it was Bernie, but then I saw his inimitable gesticulating arms - were they waving hello, beckoning me closer, or perhaps pointing down the 1%. I was too far away to tell, but
I WAS THERE...for fifteen minutes and then I needed to get my Chick-fil-A.

| Success! |
