I went to the 500 Club initially, but it smelled like, well.. puke. Elixir played the debate down the street and also featured an "economic stimulus" at the end of the night - $2 off drinks. Yay! My highlights from the debate: - mention of a 2nd holocaust - "shout-out!" - "gosh dagnabit oh golly gee nuke-u-lar MAVERICK" and.. - Palin wants to extend the powers of VP?! (because, you know, Dick Cheney has set such a great precident)

You've got nothing on Biden? Really... do you not follow the news? Now, don't get me wrong... I'm for Obama/Biden and think Sarah Palin is one of the biggest jokes to appear on national television since Taradise went off the air... but to say you have nothing on Biden is ridiculous. This wasn't even that long ago: http://theboard.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/say-what-joe-biden-fdr-the-tv/

I can't imagine you can bring beer or come too terribly drunk, but it's kind of fun to watch debates with an academic crowd, which you can do at UC Berkeley's IGS (Inst. of Gov. Studies). They're showing all debates on a big screen.

Drinking games are fun, but here is something for all ages, from newborn (Trig) to old fart (McFailin): Palin Bingo!

I'm going to go to The Mix and get a glass of bourbon and a rating of a 7. The girl with me will get a 10, mostly because of her poka-dot dress.

LoBot is a lot of fun for these debates. I'd recommend going there if you're under 21. It's also BYOB and there's a liquor store across the street. Pretty awesome spot to watch the debate...I'll be missing it seeing Noah & The Whale for free at Amoeba instead 8-).
