Have you voted? Have you posted a picture of yourself voting? Have you decided where you are going to drink away the election results? I can't force you to get off your ass and get to your precinct, though I hope you did. I can offer a little help in the, "So what do we do now?" category.
This week, both panelists on This Week with George Stephanopoulos and my favorite astrologer, Susan Miller, predicted a long night of tabulating, so what you need are some comrades and drink specials. If you are a real moneymaker, your campaign donation may have earned you a very exclusive invitation to a very private election watching soiree. If you are looking for something a little more "for the people," I can help!
Here are The Overserved's hints on where to spend the night nail-biting, whiskey-drinking and election-watching. Impatience is a bi-partisan issue!
Central 214 After you have cast your vote, join Chef Graham Dodds for a special election night menu featuring cocktails like the BluBama and the RedRom and bites to eat from that new tasty 214 menu. Don't worry, the Scotch Egg stays for this Americana affair. Meet in their bar and courtyard from 6-11p.m. Complimentary valet parking.
Round-Up Saloon The Stonewall Democrats of Dallas will be hosting an evening of poll partying at the Round-Up Saloon and bring along the DFW Pride Movement, Dallas Stonewall Young Democrats and the LULAC Rainbow Council.
