About a dozen Volume One staff and friends gathered at the office this morning to watch the inauguration of President Barack Obama with a live stream of CNN projected on the wall. We listened, we dreamed, we ate pizza and drank fake champagne (mmm ... pizza and champagne). As so much history, so many successes, and so many massive challenges collide in such a unique way this week, it truly is an amazing time to be alive and bear witness. Please, comment here and let everyone know if and how you watched today’s historic event, how you feel about this point in American history, and what hopes or reservations you may have as we all move forward. Congratulations, America. Today you have reason to celebrate.
