Of course, we’re having a pretty awesome party at the Doug Fir. It’s free and will feature nail-biting results watching as well as a line-up of fun events (donut eating contest! Mormon underwear fashion show!) hosted by Wm. Steven Humphrey, comedy from Ian Karmel, and analysis from the one-and-only Steve Novick.
But if you’re into hanging out with one special candidate or campaign, instead, here’s where they’ll be dishing out soundbites and maybe free cheese. These parties generally start at 7:30pm and run till 9pm. Oregon election results are first posted online at 8pm.
Charlie Hales: Holocene (SE 11th and Morrison)
Jefferson Smith: Melody Ballroom (SE 6th and Alder)
Amanda Fritz: Pear (338 NW 6th Ave)
Mary Nolan: Hotel Lucia (400 SW Broadway)
Big Democrats shindig including Basic Rights Oregon and numerous campaigns: Hilton downtown (SW 6th and Taylor)
Big Republicans shindig: Embassy Suites at the Portland Airport (7900 NE 82nd Ave)
Police and Firefighters’ Pension Reform: For some reason, our favorite, but admittedly boring measure is having a party at Red Flag (344 NE 28th Ave).
Yikes – you can bet I’ll be staying away from the Melody Ballroom tomorrow night.
Wow. An Embassy Suites out by the airport, eh? That’s what they call a “bunker mentality.”
Yes on 80 (Legalize, tax and regulate marijuana for adults 21+) campaign election-night party is at the World Famous Cannabis Cafe on SE 82nd Avenue.
