17. Staying at home, but..
I won't be going to bed that evening - I'll be up all night, well into the morning, taking in the lovely news coverage.

Lots of junk food, friends stopping by, my trusty inkboard electoral map hanging in the living room, three tv's going, here at DU.. it's going to be sweet.

20. I will drive home to be with Mom & Dad and watch their big HD TV
I will be tuned into MSNBC or CNN. My laptop will be closeby so I can hang out on DU as the returns come in.

22. No plans yet, but we are having an election party on Friday night
to celebrate Obama's victory, or to commiserate on another stolen election.

I just can't stand sitting through 6 hours of mindless blather waiting for the results.

29. I live in Germany and will probably sleep on the couch in front of CNNInt
and try and log on to DU - in 2004 it was so sad and crazy. Somebody came out as a freeper (seventh son or something) I just donated hoping it helps keep the servers going full throttle.
