Party with Obama, McCain and … Cee-Lo
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hey are you free the evening of Nov. 4?
Come party with John McCain, Barack Obama and … Cee-Lo from Gnarls Barkley.
OK, actually just one of those guys is supposed to be in the ATL that night.
595 North, at 595 North Ave., will host an election night party beginning at 7 p.m. The night features live music, hors d’oeuvres (and a full menu by order), cash bar and lots of politics.
“We’re encouraging indiviiduals to come from the polls,” party promoter Christopher Thomas said.
A slew of artists will perform country, pop, r&B and hip hop, he said. Celeb guests scheduled to attend include Cee-Lo Green and Q. Parker of 112.
Thomas, 33, said he’s expecting a young and enthusiastic crowd, in keeping with what he’s seen during this campaign season.
“We work with young people all the time, as some of our clients target teenages or college students,” he said. “I’ve never seen this much college level involvement (in politics).”
The party’s free but you need to RSVP. E-mail vibranttuesday@gmail.com.
In other Election Night party news, the Stonewall Democrats plan to watch the results at Halo Lounge, 817 W. Peachtree St. RSVP for the bash on the group’s Web site.
The Crash Test Comedy Company plans an Election Night show beginning at 8 p.m. at the Highland Inn, 644 N. Highland Ave.
“We thought of putting together a fun night of laughter where everyone is welcome regardless of who they are voting for in the election,” said organizer Cris Gray. “Everyone loves to laugh and together we will while we wait to see the results of “America’s Next Top President.”
Tickets are $7 at the door and Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge will be serving $2 beers all night.
Hey, we can all vote for that.
