Portland, OR Obama Victory Meetup!

Portland, OR Obama Victory Meetup! Some of us Portland MeFites were otherwise occupied and didn't have much chance to properly celebrate Obama's victory last night, so how 'bout a meetup? Yes, we just had a meetup recently...but this is a special occasion! Last time, several of us found the Deschutes Pub too noisy and crowded for our tastes. Anyone interested in meeting at a coffee shop instead? Or, say, some kind of restaurant that serves alcohol, but isn't really a pub? I'd vote for downtown or NW, but all suggestions are welcome. I'm thinking this Saturday, Nov. 8. I know it's short notice, but I'm ready to celebrate already! All the photos of people weeping with joy and screaming and dancing in the streets are getting to me, and it's hard to keep my mind on work. Anyone want to convene for some revelry?

Election Watch '08

Do we need an (un)official election watch meetup thread? If so, I'll get it going. I'm joining a group at Madhatter in DC. I'm the tall one in this picture, though I imagine I'll be sitting down; still, the big, ponytailed guy in a black shirt is usually easy to find. Getting there 6-ish, staying late. MeMail me if you need more details.

Do any NYC folks have plans for election night? Imagining the possibility of hanging out at some place with a liquor license and a television to watch the numbers roll in... I realize this would make for a 3rd meetup in a row (and being the workaholic anti-socialite I am, I was not/will not be present at numbers 1 and 2 :() but my wife and I were hoping to get sloshed and watch the election coverage, and preferably with other people involved. Don't have any real suggestion for venue, but I'm hoping some other interested parties might have a good idea.

London meetup Nov 4th - US Election Night

London meetup Nov 4th - US Election Night. Let's face it, we're all going to be checking the internet obsessively, so we might as well do it together! This idea was raised at yesterday's meetup and a few people seemed interested. Obviously it'd require staying over at someone's house and probably booking the 5th off as a holiday, but aside from that, it could be a lot of fun. Large quantities of pizza, beer, laptops, Mefi madness - what's not to want? Other ideas: - a Mefi Election Night IRC channel, because loading the inevitable 10,000 comment thread is going to be pretty tough on everyone's bandwidth... - a Ustream.TV feed from London, so you can see all our commentary and shenanigans, live from the interwebs!
