Presidential Election Watch Party: The Cleaners at Ace Hotel
November 1, 2008 — Julian ChadwickThere are a lot of Presidential Election Watch Parties in Portland, but a few of them really stand out. The party at The Cleaners inside the Ace Hotel is one such event. It's the only one charging that I've found, but it is also the only one offering this nice of a party. Plus, 100% of the cover charge goes to the organization of your vote.
Info from Donald at Ace Hotel:
Democracy is nothing without participation, my friends*, so we beseech you to participate in our election night results-viewing shindig on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008. The freedom-lovers at Clyde Common are providing complimentary snacks and beer will be available.
Coupled with copious amounts of champagne for a toast, a popcorn machine and a balloon drop will help celebrate our right to choose our leaders- or do justice to the spectacle of politics, depending on your perspective. We'll have 10 Flat-screen TVs showing every possible channel of coverage (and maybe some cartoons).
And really, what's more American than 10 TVs?And even if you are totally over party politics, it's a great chance to give to the nonprofit of your choice. 100% of the cover charge – matched in full by Ace Hotel Portland – goes to the organization of your vote:
SAVE THE POLAR BEARS…
VOTING RIGHTS ORGANIZATION
SAVE THE HONEY BEES
BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
So, shelve your cynicism for five seconds and come on down to support the cause- whether that be the future of the executive branch, the plight of cute animals, or a kick-ass night out with your friends
