A Few Hundred Of Our Closest Friends
By Mitch Berg
In the history of the Northern Alliance Radio Network, the Debate Parties are among the most legendary events.
Eight years ago (!) at the Minneapolis Hilton, they set out 100 chairs and one porta-bar in a ballroom with a jumbotron to watch the final debate between Dubya and Kerry. 700 turned out; it was the first time we on the NARN ever figured we had an audience. It was amazing. It was also the first time we met many of our audience regulars, including our latest NARN colleague Brad Carlson! It was an amazing evening.
Four years ago, at the Biden/Palin debate at the late great Trocadero? We drew close to 500, which was a completely full house. It was a fantastic night.
And Monday night, we’ll be doing it again!
Join us at the Blue Fox in Shoreview on Monday, 10/22 for the final Presidential Debate of this season.
Brad Carlson and I will be MCing, and doing a Q and A before and after. There’ll be some special prices, and the food is really really good!
Also – before the debate, there’ll be a silent auction to benefit the Kurt BIlls for Senate campaign. Come on out and bring a few bucks to benefit Bills, and stay for the party!

On another note, the liberat media has Mark Ritchie talking about the two amendments at Eagan HS tonight. It was on 45 this morning news. According the the left wing host, there is some confusing language in both of them and Ritchie will answer questions to make sure everyone knows what it means! Yea! Right! I wish I could be there to raise hell, but I have a commitment tonight. I’ll miss the debate, too!

I was at that event eight years ago Mitch. Said hello and not much more to you. But it was a fun event.

And who will be adorning MBerg’s arm at the event…

If Mary Matalin & James Carville can make it work, surely a Conservative regional blogger/computer related something-or-other and a Progressive movie actress have a chance, don’t they?
