The Party Never Finds You

My other neighbor, Peter, went on a mission the other day:

Last Thursday, I got to thinking that it might be fun to watch the Iowa returns with some other political junkies in a bar or coffee shop. Mind you, I’m not so addicted to politics that I thought up this idea myself. I read about a caucus watching party at SLOG, the blog of Seattle’s alt weekly, The Stranger.

Could I find a caucus watching party in the Twin Cities?

I wondered about that myself.  I’ve never heard of such a thing.

And I’m not alone…

I took a look at the City Pages blog, The Blotter, but there was no mention of any caucus watching party. Heck, there wasn’t a single mention of the Iowa caucus. Meanwhile, on SLOG, the Stranger was offering regular updates from the reporter they dispatched to Iowa and the former intern who was now attending college there.

So I Googled the following: Minneapolis Iowa caucus watching party.

I found one — from four years ago.

 And I’m gonna bet it was a bunch of those “Drinking Liberally” people. 

Okay, so maybe this stuff doesn’t get to Google. I tried Seattle Iowa caucus watching party. Four decent hits, including the SLOG post.

Damn. I’m living in the wrong city.

Or we need to throw a party on Super Tuesday.

After I get done at my caucuses, if you please…

  1. Yes! Where? St. Paul, preferably, as I will have to work the next day. Republican-friendly, please. Suggestions?
