Is anyone doing anything? ?Going to one? ?Throwing one? ?Sitting at home quietly drinking yourself into a stupor?

I have no tv, and while I could compusively check online, I think I might want to be around people. ?A few of the old historic theaters are apparently having parties, and it might be fun to see people excited/dejected.

    I might be going to one, though I have to work until 9 (PST). So, it will depend how much has been decided by then. If it's all over, I probably won't go.

    I can't do election night parties. I am too emotionally invested in the outcome to be either a good host or a good guest.

    We are having a few people over on the Friday after the election to hopefully celebrate the outcome or drown our sorrows.

    At least in a place like Denver, I know I'll be in good company with my reaction to whatever the outcome is. ?They don't even pretend to be bipartisan here with the parties being called Obama victory parties.

    We are just having 2 friends over. We're ordering pizza and having crudites, cheap red wine, and Wisconsin-shaped cookies. My plan is to dye the cookie dough red, frost them with white frosting, and cover with blue sprinkles. I wanted to make blue cocktails, but we already spent our whole grocery budget. Sad.

    We are having a party!  25-30 people or so.  I have been preparing for it all weekend.  I started making my swing state cookies yesterday, and I have all my red white and blue decorations made.  I am majorly dorking out.

    I'll post on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    We're going to a party, but we both have to be up early the next day, so it'll be light partying.  We found a bottle of 151 hurricane mix that is randomly blue, so I guess we'll make two flavors of hurricanes...yum...must.stay.sober.

    that's cool ESF.

     

    I can't imagine staying out/up late on a Tuesday - i'd be useless on Wednesday!

    One of the perks of being married to a political consultant is invites to sweet election night parties. I may not have seen the man for the past month, but lots of open bars are in my Tuesday-night future!

    The ILs have one each election year and we're going for the first time.
