Where are YOU watching the debate?

[Samjm]

I can't wait!

Weds are usually knit night with my group of crazy very liberal friends. This week we're having a debate watch party / knit night.

Here are the ground rules:
Debate/Knit Night Ground Rules:

1. Needles will be confiscated if they become dangerous weapons.
2. Only yarn under 50 grams will be allowed to be thrown.
3. Bring only 10% of your yarn stash to use as projectiles. If your stash outnumbers the average - we will exercise redistribution so everyone has the same number.
4. Bring something to share food wise if you are so inclined
5. Alcohol is welcomed (in moderation); bring your favorite.
6. No blaming me or other political parties for knitting mistakes made during the debate.

1. i wont

i find most debates to be boring and seemingly scripted. but i hope you guys enjoy and have fun

[ailsagirl]

29. Will tape it, then let Matthews & Maddow give their takes

I don't like live TV. Oh, and I'll be at home.

[Scootaloo]

2. At home. After the fact, on video.

After inevitably being clobbered with spoilers on DU as I look for the full debate video.

[gkhouston]

14. If you want fewer spoilers, go to cspan.org for the video. n/t

[Scootaloo]

31. But then what would I carp about? n/t

[gkhouston]

32. It's DU; I'm sure you'll find something. n/t

[Scootaloo]

33. Goddamned breastfeeding pit bulls.

Shameless!

[gkhouston]

34. Hmm. Then I guess you'll have to stream the debate at Olive Garden. n/t

[Scootaloo]

35. ...

[longship]

3. With friends: dinner, martinis, debate

And home made apple wine made with hand-picked apples, and hand squeezed cider.

We all have nerf bricks to throw at the TV at appropriate times. (Either that, or we'll have real bricks and a long line of TVs -- we haven't yet decided which.)


We have not decided on the drinking game.

[Tikki]

4. That is what I should be doing..knitting..

I'll be on DU in front of the TV running commentary to Mr. Tikki from the DU pages.


We might even play Zingo

5. Home

and probably C-SPAN. I watched the DNC Convention on C-SPAN and it was the only way to go...whilst even MSNBC was advertising or blathering away, there were many a speaker that should have been covered but were not.

Actually, I'll probably be doing more listening than watching (and I cannot STAND to look at Twitchy Mittens), as others in the house will have it on and I'll still have dishes, laundry, feeding the dog, taking out trash, blah, blah, blah to do...the usual!

[janlyn]

6. at home

Going to play Romney Zinger drinking game...Everytime Romney uses a zinger instead of actually answering the question posed,you have to take a drink.

So I imagine I will be well into my cups by the end of the debate!!!

[csziggy]

7. I probably will not watch - Mitt is bad for my blood pressure

I will be going to an OFA meeting before the debate. They're having a debate party after the meeting but I won't stay for that. My comments for anything Mitt has to say are not appropriate for public airing.

[marlakay]

8. Liberal couple friends of ours

Having debate party..I am bringing wine and wearing my old shirt from 2004 that says anti Bush league on back and vote in big letters on the front.

[Panasonic]

9. What about the bong and the bud?

It *IS* Colorado, after all

Oh wait, it's not legal yet OTC.... but Amendment 64 will change that - if you're for it!

[Samjm]

16. :)

Well, of COURSE I'm for Amendment 64. But we're responsible middle aged women (theoretically) so no bong for us and Bud just sucks!

[octoberlib]

10. At home

with friends and alcohol.We'll be tweeting and playing otherscreen http://otherscreen.com/

[liam_laddie]

11. Many tasty foods and sundry beverages...

with about sixteen progressive friends at my SO's apt. Anticipating a hearty time!

[CorBlimeyGuvnor]

12. On BBC News Channel...

...here in the North-East of England at 2 a.m. with strong coffee to hand. Won't be watching Murdoch's Sky News coverage as they have been playing ads in the last couple of days featuring an apocalyptic soundtrack with phrases like "the campaign is about to get dirty" and "the election is too close to call" !

[Lint Head]

13. Just hope I don't 'spit take' my Jack Single Barrel on the keyboard.

[cbayer]

15. Home. A lot of people around here don't have TV, so I have invited anyone who wants to come

over to join us.

One condition, they have to actually watch the debate.

[Greywing]

17. I'm excited - I'll be watching the debate at

the Debate Fest at the University of Denver! Debate Fest was limited to 5,000 people and I was lucky enough to get in as my daughter is a student at DU.

I just hope the crowd leans for President Obama ... it's getting harder and harder not to express disgust with Romney supporters. My daughter has already told me I'm not allowed to get in fist fights with any a-hole tea bagger LOL

[abbeyco]

19. Enjoy Debate Fest - it should be a lot of fun!

There's a lot planned to experience and take in - I envy you being able to attend!

Most of the folks I've worked with from the DU community are Obama fans - it's a vibe across the professional and volunteer debate staff.

[abbeyco]

18. Volunteering and doing security check-in

for the debate. I likely won't be in the debate hall where I can watch & listen, but I'll be at the media entrance and I can't wait!

[Greywing]

21. The entrance to the media center sounds

pretty exciting to me ... who knows what little tidbits you might hear!

[SEMOVoter]

20. Pumpkin Cream Pie Liqueur

I'm getting the kids ready for bed early. Me and the Mister will have a couple and shout at the television box. Also some yummy turkey sandwiches and drink/desserts.

Maybe angry after-debate sex afters, but that might be more than you guys need to know.

[blaze]

22. From home... but on call with work...

And work is typically accessed via I25. REALLY hoping I don't get a call!!!

I have at least one backup that lives in Aurora

Mostly, I just hope to watch it from home!

[Samjm]

23. Good luck!

I'm staying FAR away from the downtown area for the entire day.

[RebelOne]

24. Home alone. n/†

[realFedUp]

25. Where?

An irrelevant question.

You do know that the Twin Towers and Building 7 came down by controlled demolition.
What an upset in American history if brains were wrapped around the truth.

[hlthe2b]

26. In my home office, while walking on the treadmill...

(I'm going to need the endorphins to deal with watching lying, smirking Mitt... )

[chollybocker]

27. Knitting Bees for Barack.

Likey.

[davidpdx]

28. Just don't let anyone throw the needles at your TV when Mitt starts lying

That could become an expensive party.

[DebJ]

30. Not yet decided...at home, or at a friend's house.

We like to share the debates with our friends, but seems like when we do, we end up missing
half the debate.
We might stay home but put the phone on speaker and share that way. Keeps the conversation
more focused on the debate. We all need to focus on the debate; hubby and friend work together
and the stress there is so horrible now that politics is a good distraction/stress reliever, believe it or not.

Their job situation makes Romney look just funny.

[torotoro]

36. Current TV -- with Cenk Uygur and Al Gore!

I've found i enjoy their unfiltered discussion during these things compared to other networks who seem to put on kid gloves.
