So, what are YOU doing for the speech?

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

When all is said and done, 75,000 lucky people will be in Denver for Senator Obama's acceptance speech. But there are, oh, a few more of us who will want to watch it. Why be alone?

There will be a lot of venues to watch the speech besides your own living room. Here in Chester County, PA, we are planning at least 3 large parties (so far). I know from other people involved with the campaign that there will be thousands of parties large and small across the country.
Some events will be small house parties, some will be large parties for supporters, some will be paired with local fundraisers.

The specific party I'm involved with already has 50 people planning on attending, and we believe we will likely have over a hundred when all is said and done.

If you are interested in spending the evening with a bunch of like-minded folks, sign on to www.mybarackobama.com, put in your zip code, and find a party. Because of the planning involved, if you don't see a close party, check again next week, as a lot will be posted over the weekend as venues are finalized.
