I've been debating over whether or not I should invite people over for an election night party. It wouldn't be a huge party, especially considering the election is in 2 days; just some snacks, some cnn (or fox news if Obama is in the lead and we want to watch grown men weep big tears of sadness), some drinks, and whatever friends want to join us. But I'm not entirely certain having an election party will end well.
I mean, we could have the chance to watch history being made and be able to say we saw it happen with a room full of friends. Or we could all do shots and get blind drunk if our candidate doesn't win. And offer each other suggestions on good countries to move to after January. Hell, some of my friends might even like different candidates and be able to rub it in everyone's face should their guy win in a surprise upset. What I'm trying to say in a very roundabout, poorly written way is that it could either be a lot of fun or the worst party in the history of parties. And I just can't make up my mind.
So, what do you think? Do you want to come over to watch the election results at my house? Do you think a party is a bad idea? Do you want to be at your own house so you can start packing the moving boxes if your candidate doesn't win?
It seems that I can't promise your candidate the win if you come over here, but I can promise cookies and booze and that's got to count for something, right?
Oh, I would totally come to that.
ReplyDeleteLikewise! Count us in. =) We have some leftover booze we can bring... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fabulous excuse for a party, do it!
ReplyDeleteAAH! Warner has been making fun of me this weekend because I have been googling ideas for election night parties because I think we're going to have one as well! Do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteaw - we would definitely come over - - - and bring you our leftover halloween candy to make into baked goods (we only got 3 tweens cause all the old people on our block turned their lights out so nobody came down our block). I vote yes - as long as their will be pictures and blogging so those of us old fogies with babies and faraway abodes can still participate.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea. I'm going to another party as the resident foreigner-hence-terrorist-definitely-at-least-communist. I'm baking an Obama cake. This whole thing is so f'ing stressful it made me start baking again.
ReplyDeleteooh, nice new blog design.
ReplyDeletecome to my house. i can't go to anyone's house, due to the thingies that will be asleep. i hate the thought of watching it alone. booo!
It's a great idea. I would totally come but will be having my own Election Day Party in Point Roberts. The guest list is just me and Chris but we will have lots of snacks. I think stress eating will be on order tomorrow night. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteWe'd come to that if you're allowing those-who-are-not-yet-of-voting-age to attend. I'll help you make baked goods out of Halloween candy if you like.
ReplyDeleteChez Berkan residents will be there, at different times with no on 8 cupcakes!
