bit nuts. this is mayor de blasio's wife on twitter. quote, the people have spoken and they want a ticker tape parade. the manhattan borough president puts it more simply -- all the excitement arriving in new york city on top of that it's free. anybody can show up and watch what happened, which is exactly what i'm doing. there is even a post parade celebration they are going to do on the grounds of city hall. that's an enclosed area. people did have to apply for a ticket. that event is free, even though you need a ticket. ticket requests can only be made during a two-hour window yesterday. in that two-hour window, the city fielded 12,000 requests for tickets. that's six times the number of tickets they can actually give away for the event and that was in two hours. so people are psyched. imagine what it's like to be at the heart of that. imagine what it is to be the subject of that. imagine what it's like to be in the middle of all that many
