Who's going?

You're :batman: :D

And no - going to a "Watch the American Election " party.

Not sure I can quite see the point of watching votes being counted - sounds a bit like sitting through the entire Football results.

Obama 1 - Mcain 0 and repeat for several hours with variation & added "What do we think they voted in Denver" pointless pontification. :confused:

Room full of journos too.

On the bright side Bourbon's American...

yup, I'll most probably be there.

I really want to watch the election, but the way I figure it is that the interesting stuff is surely only going to happen at about past midnight for us isn't it? They are 8 hours behind, and also ened all day to vote before counting, then the results trickle in.

Seein as the weather is nice tomorrow, I will probably ride down, then come back and wathc the election afterwards. Andy, you joining me and Phill?

I'd like to as I want to test my new lights, but I failed to put my bike back together over the weekend. If I can get it done by candlelight tonight then I'll be up for it. If not i'll have to go down in the car. I'll let you know tomorrow.

First polls close at 11pm UTC so there won't be any results whatsoever before then. Unless it's a landslide, the result won't be called before California, Washington and Oregon close at 4am UTC (73 electoral votes in total).

That's going to be one long party. Personally, I'll settle for checking the results when I get up around 7.

Yeah, so basically a load of guff ALL night long, with excitement early the next morning.

Andy, if you go in the car, gimme a lift! Then I can drink! And Phill! hahaha
