As fortune would have it fellow turks, hazmat made it on the front page of the Oregonian.

I went to sunday's record setting gathering at the Tom McCall waterfront park, and even though it was hot and crowded, I had a pretty good time.

The pictures don't really do the scene justice, but suffice to say it was the most incredible political gathering I've ever been a part of. It was very low key, and very well coordinated considering that they hosted a great many more people than expected. Obama thanked the people for coming, in his words "all 30 thousand of you". Turns out there were 72k.

They say there were people watching from the steel bridge, and even the far banks of the Willamette. There were lots of light craft on the river and a couple rows of kayaks as well.

I'm in this photograph

although my face isn't discernable, I can be unambiguously identified. If anyone can guess who I am (by saying what I'm wearing) I pledge to buy a second younturks membership, which I most definitely cannot afford. If you live in OR, this exact photograph is printed on the front of Monday's Oregonian in higher resolution.

Hint: I'm not near the front. 

[update] I can't give any clues, because it would be too easy, but I did find a better photograph online, that also has me in it:

[update] I don't look like this

my guess (none / 0)

Did all those "Obamabots" speak in monotone chants and fall into rapturous feinting spells?  I'm sure it's very different from the group naps of the "McCainites".

BTW, you're that little bitty white triangle next to the orange dot.  Right?

I'm looking for a TYT hat but don't see one.  That guy with the green shirt on the right sure stands out though!  He looks about 7 feet tall.

I'm an intellectual giant (none / 0)
but not an actual one. You're on the right track though, I'm one of a handful of people that stands out in some way.

Looking closer (none / 0)
I see this one guy with an orange cap and a shirt that has black, white and blue on it.

correction (none / 0)
The blue I'm seeing maybe just a patch of white that is shaded.  The blue sky will make shaded white look blue.

I think I know who you're pointing at (none / 0)
and its not me. This photo is very deceptive, especially the 2nd one. I'm almost a quarter mile from the stage.

Another try (none / 0)

I've done an enhancement on one of the persons in the crowd.  Is this You?

 

Although on second thought I think this may be a Hillary supporter.
