Chicago Blackhawks Parade/Rally 2010

I was there today, what an amazing experience for everyone in Chicago. They estimated around 2 million people were there overall. Lucky for me I live ten minutes away from everything so I just walked there.

Chicago Theater

Near the beginning of the parade route at State and Washington. I got there shortly after 10 and it was already like this.

I heard that 2mil number over and over...no way I believe it though

Looks like an awesome time, save the humidity, post your videos in here too (esp. the Versteeg singing/rapping one

)

Not exactly a Rainbow Coalition crowd, eh?
