Obama Watch Parties

Yes, we can … watch the election-night results together! For Obama fans, tonight’s the night to be around other like-minded people to either celebrate a victory or begin four years of collective depression. In Kansas, starting at 7:30 p.m., a whole host of Obama groups will hold a watch party at Nick & Jake’s in Overland Park (6830 West 135th Street, 913-681-8535). The party takes over the entire bar, with multiple flat-screen TVs tuned to news broadcasts. In Missouri, Obama supporters will start gathering at 5 p.m. at the Flying Saucer in the Power & Light District (101 East 13th Street, 816-221-1900).
