That reminds me, I still owe Suzie B lunch, I should pop over to the Red Door and buy a pitcher of cider since she’ll be down in the dumps when 1100 loses.
SECB endorsed Jaime Herrera?
COMEDY CENTRAL Election Coverage. Any bars showing this tonight???
I love election night parties!!!! The ones at the Westin are always particularly fun, for some reason. Back when Trader Vic’s was still open, it was particularly fun.
Oh, that was banal of me. Just ignore comment four, and let me try it again…..

I miss Trader Vic’s.
@2 — No, but her campaign did reply to our request for details.
If you don’t care about these things:
————————————-
salmonella poisoning the eggs your family eats
E. coli poisoning your meat and veggies
PCBs poisoning the milk Baby sucks from Mommy’s breasts
those “Aspirin” you’re buying are actually Rat Poison
your kid’s teacher is a convicted –and unsupervised– sexual predator
low-income kids not having a hot lunch at school
neighbors losing their homes to foreclosure
being paid a decent wage, and receiving help when unemployed
elections that are 1st Tuesday Silent Auctions
————————————-
Or if you think all government regulations are stupid, and that taxes are “a waste of MY money,” then vote for one of those GOP/TP “Charlie McCarthy” ventriloquist props.
————————————-
Otherwise, vote for a Democrat!
————————————-
The choice is simple, and “a waste of taxpayer dollars” never enters into it.
The operative word isn’t “waste,” it’s “investment.”
I second the request for info on bars showing election results – anyone? Daily Central coverage would be awesome, but even just WA state would be good. Anywhere on cap hill?
I know Moe Bar is doing election coverage tonight.
Another great bar is the Red Door in Fremont – they serve food too, and you can cheer when I-1100 gets beaten as you eat your yummy fish and chips and drink your pitcher of hard cider.
Mind you, the I-1100 supporters there might glare at you a bit, but just think back to when Fremont was all biker bars and you were lucky to down a full pitcher of anything without getting into a fight.
Moe Bar has great food too.
Beverage Place is hosting the Heavey crowd. Bring Four Loko. I’ll be all out by the time you get there.
Bellingham WA –
No-host venue for Democrats watching election returns. In the bar.
Tuesday night specials and 4 big TVs. Come for dinner and East Coast election results, or later for the local returns. http://www.newyorkpizzaandbar.com/

thanks Steve @14.
is there a “corkage” charge, Praetor?
Hold on, let me ask…
Nope. As long as your St. Bernard is wearing the can of quattro crazy around his neck, you will not be charged a corkage.
(Bev. Place is dog / sugar glider / nerd friendly)
Are they showing Comedy Central election coverage, Praetor?
