Nationwide there will be hundreds of venues and supporters hosting “Watch Parties” to bring together thousands of Obama supporters who want to witness and celebrate this historic moment. In Philadelphia, Independence Mall will be the site of a free public Watch Party. There will be a huge 20’ x 30’ screen on the Mall carrying a live feed from the Democratic National Convention. The Watch Party starts at 8pm and will end at the conclusion of Senator Obama’s historic acceptance speech. His “Audacity of Hope” speech at the Democratic convention four years ago electrified the country and this year’s speech as a Presidential candidate promises to be even better. Independence Mall is located in downtown Philadelphia on Market Street between 5th and 6th.

I think this is awesome. I am definitely going. I was so upset I couldn't make it to Independence Mall in April when Obama held a rally there. Does anyone know if there are any other cities doing this?
