2008 VP Debate Watch Parties? (Beehive Edition)

Eli--do you know of any Sarah Palin look-alike debate parties scheduled for Thursday night? I'm trying to imagine the best place to find dozens of beehives and over-sized eyeglasses watching the event.

Thank you.

Be assured, Elaine, that I will tell the world if I hear of such a thing happening in Seattle. Meanwhile, I continue to collect debate party info for this Thursday (and will publish party listings on Slog starting tomorrow).

Same drill as for the prez debate: If you're hosting a public party for watching the VP debate, shoot me an email. Your email must have "VP Debate Party" in the subject line and must include time and place details, whether your bar/home/restaurant has wireless, whether beehives are involved, and any relevant food or drink specials.

Hopefully there's something in the north end. Last friday I went from Wallingford to Spitfire then to Moe Bar before ending up at Twilight Exit trying to find somewhere that didn't have a bajillion people smooshed in. At least I know I'm not alone in my lack of a television.

I'm going to infiltrate a conservative debate party in Minneapolis. Should be fun watching them cringe.

I highly recomend including a Sarah Palin look-a-like contest in any good VP debate party. I won't be able to host a party for this debate, but my friends and I had a Sarah Palin look-a-like contest for last Friday's debate - it was the most fun part of the night.

I think all this energy going into caricaturing Sarah Palin can be put to better use by creating a Cult of Joe Biden. Shock white wigs, enormous smiles, anything that will emblazon the image of likeable, intelligent, and competent Joe Biden in the minds of Americans. I'm so sick of Sarah Palin.

There definitely will be something at the UW - think it's at the By George beneath the library off Red Square. And I can't recall where the 43rd Democrats are having their VP Watch Party - maybe someone will dress up as a polar bear?
