After the debate, we joined up with one of K's friends over at Union Park for a MS benefit featuring a fashion show from local boutiques. It was a rare night out for us, and it reminded me that's not really my scene anymore. It used to be many years ago, but now I'm more comfortable with a bunch of sweaty runners.
As we headed home shortly after 10pm (which is late for us), we ended up getting stopped on Congress and Barton Springs to allow a motorcade through. We followed it up Congress where it stopped at Guero's. There, I saw the Hillary signs and realized that it was her in the motorcade, so I took my chances and jumped out of the car. I didn't know what would happen, but I didn't want to miss an opportunity to see her. K was able to find a parking spot nearby and came over to join me. From what I gathered, her supporters/contributors had rented out the restaurant for the evening and Hillary stopped by to speak to invited guests only inside. A crowd of supporters rallied outside the restaurant though. We stood outside in the cold for about 45 minutes, while I bet she was eating inside. She finally came out the side door, and I didn't even get to see her because I'm so short. She got in the car and I was disappointed...until she got back out and made her way over to the crowd where I actually got a chance to see her. K was able to snap this picture from his taller vantage point...
Now, it's way past my bedtime. What a night.

Sometimes it really sucks being short! When I was at the Giant's parade in NY a few weeks ago the only thing I could see were the various comb-overs in front of me.
Go Hillary!
