According to Matt McAlister, who shot the above footage in the Mission last night, "a spontaneous crowd formed at 19th and Valencia in San Francisco after hearing news of Obama's victory. People were hugging each other, dancing, laughing, drinking, shouting, bongo-ing and, of course, congo-ing."

Ditto for the Castro, Third and Howard, and even Sixth and Market. An incredible night out on Bay Area streets, folks.
