Where to Party When Obama Wins
After what seems like years of campaigning, we're now less than 2 weeks away from the election of our lifetime south of the border. Ron Howard is channeling Happy Days to get the vote out, Bush is backing McCain/Palin and Sarah Silverman is doing what she can to get bubbeh to vote for Obama.
So when the inevitable happens (Obama wins - yep, that's an endorsement) it will be time to party like it's, uh, 1990 something. But where to go? One option is to hit up the Bloor Cinema where NOW Magazine will be hosting America Votes. Starting at 7:30pm they'll be broadcasting CNN, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Tickets are $3 (or free for Bloor Cinema members) and there will be a cash bar.
Elsewhere, Democrats Abroad will be gathering at Plaza Flamingo on College Street starting at 7:30pm. Seems like an odd place for an election night get together, but, whatever....light snacks will be served. A chance to party with a group of Americans will cost a donation of $25 at the door.
And lastly, Spacing has the details on the Welcome Back America shin-dig at Yonge Dundas Square. Apparently the election results will be broadcast on at least one of the big screens nearby.

The Bloor is where I'm gonna be! Dundas square sounds fun, but cold. And there'll be a bar upstairs at the Bloor.
I think I'll check out the cinema. Having the cash bar there will help when my homeboy Obama wins.
When he wins? It's obvious he will win, as McCain doesn't seem to have his act together, but the question is, how long will Obama last, before some White Supremist puts a bullet in him and turns him into another Martin Luther King?
Americans are a very stupid, arrogant and ignorant lot, with crazy gun laws, so it's just a matter of time before, yet another Black man bites the dust! Go figure!!
Prediction: more people will show up for the big Obama party than did for all Canadian election events combined.
Hey, let's all go to Dundas Square and if Obama loses we can trash all the American stores on Yonge St.
As much as I LOVE to see him win, but lets not get too excited yet. people have not voted yet and polls are not to be trusted. If the polls were correct, we would have Giuliani Vs Hillary right now.
and don't forget about the Bradley effect. Sadly, racism still exists.
There is also a Obama Election Party at Wayne Gretzkys, Tuesday at 7pm. Should be really hot...so far we have 150 confirmed.
