U.S. election night 2004 - Where to watch it - Munich

The following landed in the MunichNights mailbox today so I thought I'd do the decent thing and pass it on for any interested parties out there. I've left out the pictures 'cause I can't be arsed to paste them in. Let nobody say I'm not nice to Americans...well sometimes

Disclaimer: MunichNights.com does not condone anybody staying a whole night in a coffee-shop under ANY circumstances. You should be in a pub or club. Stopping by for a bit of an energiser is fine but don't get carried away.

That is why I am going to the Arc where they will be open until there is a decision.
PS: I will bring my own sleeping bag!

There is also an all-night event at the Amerika Haus. Only catch is: you have to be a member or have a member invite you...

To quote Hazza @ The Arc:
We'll stay open until a winner is declared - which in the case of the last election would have been about 2 weeks!!

Yeah, we'll be showing it.

We'll be showing a mix of CNN, CNBC, BBC News, Sky News, FOX News and open to suggestions of what other channels to see. We can show simultameous broadcasts of 2 channels supplied by SKY as well as one on German TV.

We'll start with the coverage as soon as the champions league ends, which is before 11pm...

If Kerry wins, you can bet that I'll be switching 1 over to Fox. Just wanna see how they'll try to crawl out from the Republican's arses...

I have abandoned my trip to Italy, where I would have been w/o television for this night alone. I will be there, with my pillow sleeping bag and a couple days worth of clothes I'm not leaving the Arc till a winner has been declared , I'm not leaving Munich till the winner isn't Bush

I said that four years ago and I am still here.

Not that I will make the whole night. Are any of TT's resident Americans planning a 'Celebration' or 'Commiseration' party? I for one am hoping there will be a new president come next week.

Since TT Tuesday is planned for the Arc next week I guess I'll be there anyway. However due to having posted a couple of days back that I don't like to mix pubs and politics, I shall probably not say a word all night.

a victory party would be nice...

i will be there. I've watched the results of every election since I was little. come to think of it, it's the only sporting event i have ever been dedicated to.

i usually stay up til 1 or 2 a.m., go to sleep, set my alarm for 4:30, then go back to sleep and wake up at a normal time. it's sort of like christmas. you hope catch santa in the act, then you wake up to a bunch of goodies!

Let's just hope Santa doesn't leave us coal this year.

except the next day's not a holiday

It's all rigged...

If you think Dub'ya will loose don't hold your breath...

Sidenote: It's time for him to go...
