The 3rd Annual Liberadio(!) State of the Union Watch Party

Mary Mancini — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:23:46 +0000

For the last couple of years, we’ve hosted State of the Union Watch “parties,” which were actually more like Irish wakes – “Yeah, we had a good time but…”

This year, we’re at it again (along with the SEIU, Nashville Community Organizers, and the Davidson County Young Democrats). And even though it’s not an “official” State of the Union, that’s our story and we’re sticking to it. Let’s face it, it’s been a long time since we actually looked forward to a presidential speech in the middle of winter.

WHAT: A State of the Union Watch Party

WHO: Liberadio(!), Nashville Community Organizers, Davidson County Young Democrats, SEIU’s Change that Works Campaign, and you(!)

WHERE: Pie in the Sky, 110 Lyle Ave (Just off West End between Courtyard and Hampton Inn)

WHEN: Tuesday, February 24th, 7:00 to 10:00 PM Central (Speech and Obingo! start at 8 PM)

Like our past watch parties, there will be bingo (can you say, Barack Obingo?) for prizes, comaraderie, and beer (2 for 1 drafts!).

Unlike past watch parties, there will be approbation, optimism, and profound sense of hope. And we “hope” you can make it!

The State of the Union is…a Party!

Join Liberadio(!), the Davidson County Young Democrats, and the Nashville chapter of Drinking Liberally for a “Madame Speaker, the President of the United States…FOR THE LAST TIME!!!” State of the Union Watch Party tonight at The 5 Spot in East Nashville (1006 Forrest Ave, Nashville, TN 37206).

Last year we came together to watch the State of the Union to commiserate. This year we come together to celebrate! That’s right, it’s the last time we’ll have to watch a Bush report on the status of the country (at least until the 2037 candidacy of Jenna or Barbara. Or both. Can you say Co-Presidents? So awesome!).

We’ll also be playing Bush Bingo, which is like traditional Bingo except the squares are filled with words or phrases the President might use during his speech. For example, “Tax Relief” or “war on terror” or “Steroids.” Feel free to leave your own Bush Bingo word ideas in the comments section.

7:00 – 8:00 pm – Eat, drink, make merry, eye the prizes you can win playing Bush Bingo, and make predictions about the state of the union (strong? very strong? Magnus Ver Magnusson strong?)

8:00 – 9:00 pm – Watch the State of the Union and Democratic response, eat, drink, make merry, & play Bush Bingo for fun and prizes. (Please refrain from throwing things at the TV as it is not our TV. And besides, this is a celebration!)

Email feedback@liberadio.com if you have any questions and feel free to spread this invite around. See you tonight!

Summary: Meet Addison Pate, President of the Davidson County Young Democrats, and Aaron Dorn, Chairman of the Davidson County Young Republicans. These two very nice young men are under the impression that all this partisan bickering does nothing to move our country forward. Kids today. Sheesh.
