Tonight, starting at 5:30, a crack team including Cienna Madrid, Washington Bus’s Toby Crittenden, news intern Megan Burbank, and a books editor who has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about will Live-Slog the State of the Union Address from our SoTU 2011 Global Response Headquarters at Moe Bar (1425 10th Ave). We hope you will watch and comment right along with us.
So many questions! Will this speech mark the beginning of Obama’s rush to the center in preparation of the 2012 campaign? Will up-and-coming Republican Paul Ryan give a better SoTU response than Bobby Jindal? Will Michele Bachmann’s crazy Teabagger response to the SoTU steal Ryan’s spotlight and make the Republican Party look fractured and lame? Will the Bipartisan Buddies seating plan result in a big Kumbaya-fest? If someone shouts “You lie” at Obama, will he shout something back this time?
If you’re in the neighborhood, please drop by Moe Bar tonight. We’ll be typing furiously over in the corner, Washington Bus members will be walking around being political and cute, and drinks will be pounded hotly and heavily. CUM ON FEEL THE POLITICKS!
Remember, if you have a pre-beta 3D iPad or one of the other beta tablets, you can bring it into either Moe’s on Capitol Hill (the Washington Bus watch party) or Mae’s in Wallingford (a block west of I-5 on N 45th on the 44 bus, local Dems) and watch the SOTU live while drinking and liveslogging.
I predict sweaters and turtlenecks will win the night.
and there’s an Eastside bus event too – anyone remember where?
no thank you.
there’s a bus event in Portland too.
