Slog - Comments on Mark Your Calendar http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/mark_your_political_calendar The first presidential debate is this Friday, which means we're entering the final days—or final 40+ days—of this long, long presidential campaign. I don't know how you feel about all that, but I do know that if you care about politics you probably won't want to be alone at the end of this. Thankfully, there's a place for people like you to go on election night:...

Or will there be bands continually assaulting our ears?

I should have a full blown ulcer by then. And if it turns into a nail biter at the end (a very real possibility), I will probably have an aneurysm before the night is over.

Does anyone know of any bars that will be showing the debates? Such info would make for a great Slog post.

I can't wait for this.

At the very least, I'll have lots of people to lament/cry with with if the worst case senario happens. Or at best the wonderful shouts of joy and success from thousands of people. The 2006 election party was one of the best things I have ever been to.

It's an election returns watching party, not a band night.
