- At The Blue Note, 17 N. Ninth street after Broadaway, will celebrate Election Day with local candidates and supporters of Barack Obama, Jay Nixon and other Democratic campaigns. Watch the results roll in on a big white screen and the doors open at 6pm (even if the results won’t be available at least before 2am).
-Update: The Boone County Libertarian Party will be holding a watch party in the side room of the Heidelberg starting at approximately 6:30 PM, with a local theater troupe offering some political satire at around 7 PM.
-If you want to be surrounded by journalists and attend to a non-partisan Watch Party, go to the brand new Reynolds Journalism Institute (across the street from Heidelberg) on Ninth Street. It will start at 7:30pm.
-The Assocation for the Advancement of Coloured people will have a Watch Party at the Second Baptist Church on Fifth Street and Broadway.
