Let's Dish: How Did You Ring in Election Night?

November 5, 2008

Regardless of who you voted for, last night was a monumental night in American history. I wasn't feeling so well, so I watched history unfold at home with a beer, although in any other capacity I would've attended PartySugar and LibertySugar's election night bash.

How did you ring in the election? Did you tune in at a sports bar, or throw your own party? What was your election night drink of choice?

We spent the night being pissed. And worrying about America's future...

My neighbors threw an impromptu election party I brought over a couple of hard apple ciders and sat there knitting

Sadly work has sent me to a super McCain town right now. On election night I went swimming at the local pool, came back to my temporary "home" and had chips, salsa, and beer during the concession and acceptance speeches with some co-workers. I will party my a$$ off on inauguration day though... that is also my 1st wedding anniversary. There will be lots of champagne!

My husband grilled rib-eyes and we also had some asparagus and mexican rice. We drank a bottle of Spanish wine to celebrate too.

I was home sick, but I had hot cocoa and Baileys and my friend called me from the bar they were celebrating at. Still sad I wasn't there, but it was SUCH an exciting night

Went over to a co-worker's parents house to watch the returns with like-minded people. We had red-white-and-blue burgers, red-white-and-blue potato salad and ex-Bush's Baked Beans. We also had all-American apple pie, which was carried into the TV room with sparklers for me (my birthday yesterday) after Obama was announced. It was WONDERFUL to be there, with those people. We had the Daily Show on, and I am so happy I was watching Jon Stewart at 8:01 pm CA time, and then they called it. We were all speechless. After a few minutes we thought about stepping outside, but realized we didn't have any noisemakers. Oops!

Fiestamom, as an older reader, I too was impressed with the number of young adults that showed their support by voting yesterday.

At a bar filled to overflow with young adults. It was so nice to see so many people that are interested in their future!

After careful consideration, I should not have had that third G&T.

With co-workers, eating "All- Kale the chief" (mashed potatoes and kale), "Joe the Plumber leeks" (leek casserole), "Barack-oli" (roasted garlic and broccoli), and copious amounts of alcohol of course.
