Election Night Plans

[topaz]

So! The official decision is: on Tuesday two rambunctious young boys and I will be watching the election returns out here in rainy Carlisle, starting at about 7pm, and we would be delighted to have your company.

We have cheese and crackers, hummus and veggies, similar snackables on hand. If a couple of you show up I may make pizza. If more than a couple of you show up, we may order pizza!

I will also have a modest supply of beer. Please feel free to bring your favorite beverage, alcoholic or non. Tempting as it is, I am not going to make a drinking game out of watching the results roll in, since y'all will have to drive home from our place. (We reserve the right to clap you in irons and call your boss in the morning if we think you've had enough. Besides, if we manage to throw Bush out on his ear, the hell with it, we're drinking all night anyway and making waffles in the morning.)

Ellen will probably be around, but hers is a safe space from election talk. If you find yourself needing to decompress she would be happy to talk with you about something other than the elections.

And remember the house rule: if you bring diet soda into this house, expect to take it with you when you leave.

I think that's about it. Holler if you think you'll be there. Or just show up. Really, we're not picky.

I would love to be there, but I will have to console myself with watching the returns with some of my fellow grad students. There will be much drinking. The suggestion has been made to put together red and blue jello shots, with those who wish to participate eating/drinking one whenever a state is firmly decided.

Alas, I’ll be at the Diesel. But y’know, we should get together sometime soon.

Oh, I'd love to. Although as Monsieur Crouchback said, it might be a very long party...

I'm afraid I'm going to stick to watching it from home, though. I'm on the East Coast now, but it's still not close enough to casually hop over. =)

Beer...funny how you miss something only when you can't have it.

This would be a very very tempting option, if you don't mind two more small boys... Do you? How about one very big snooty boy? And maybe a pre-pre-pubescent girl?

You have irons?

i've got an invite to a barack obama victory (or else i'm leaving the state) party. i've never been to one of these things and i probably won't go to this one but it's sort of tempting.

anyway, yours is far more tempting but a much longer drive. have fun!

Hey!
