I took Election Day off work, on the grounds that there was no way in hell I was going to be trapped in a room with someone I needed to be professionally polite to who was watching the returns on Fox News. Also, I like tacos.

If I held an election party with tacos, would anyone come? I realize that it's a school night, but I could make a little taco buffet, and we have a rather nice flat screen television, and really good wireless internets. This does require, you know, cleaning. Also, the tv is in the cat accessible portion of the house, so if you're hugely allergic to cats, that will be a problem. But I kind of think I'd appreciate some hand-holding come the day.

I'm also thinking margaritas.

Any takers?

I would, but...

I'm doing my usual election judge gig and have no idea when I will finish.

I'm a maybe. As we head into winter, it's hard to commit.

I have a standing commitment for Tuesday evenings. I'll ask [livejournal.com profile] iraunink if she might be interested.

I live in Chicago so I can't make your party -- but what a great idea!

Mutual support that day sounds good to me.

At this remove, we are free, but I don't know if he'll want to commit.

Sounds like something I would like. Can I bring the brown alcohol?

[livejournal.com profile] iraunink says she would love to join you!

I expect to be up really, really late. Most people will be long gone, but I can save a margarita for you...

You eat birds, right? I'm thinking of asking DDB to make his chicken tinga. And I may get some sofritoes from Chipotle, if they sell it just by itself.

And I would love to have her!

Stop on by, eat tacos!

I guess I'm doin' this.

Eat a taco and think of me. Wish you could come.

If you can stop by, I would be delighted. Bring all your boys. Or no boys. Boys not a requirement.

Fair enough. I'd be thrilled if you came, but life is busy and I get that, too.

If you prefer to drink little brown drinks, instead of good American tequila, I won't stop you. Hmm. Note to self: buy tequila. Also, triple sec.

Yes, I eat birds.

However, based on the last 48 hours, this may be a particularly hard winter for me so you really shouldn't plan on me being there ... especially if there are likely to be lots of (loud) people.

A smaller gathering at another time would be more likely.

i am sorry your brain weather forecast is dire. While I don't think I'm likely to get lots of people, what with it being a school night, it may still exceed your tolerance. It would be nice for you to come over some other time, though, and pet Lady Jane Grey, who is underpetted, and tells me so every time I go into the kitchen.

When it gets closer let us know what we can bring.

Ah the dangers of saying possible activities on the internet. *grin*

I ended up making tacos for myself. Possibly inspired by you. Thank you!

I hope your tacos were delicious and offset the pain of the debate well.

Sounds lovely, but I will be in Nassau. (I have already requested my absentee ballot.)

I love the idea but probably can't handle the cats.
I'm sure that Nate would LOVE to come if someone could arrange a ride for him.

I currently hope to be up for this. I took both the 8th and the 9th off.

Cats don't limit one's social life as much as smoking does, but it does present challenges.

I can't fetch and carry Nate, as I will be busy hosting. He does seem to be doing better than he was a year ago. That, that was scary.

I do so hope you can come. You are my go-to person for political questions, and you're lots of fun to be with, too.

From: [identity profile] dreamshark.livejournal.com
Nate is doing MUCH better than he was a year ago. The hostess shouldn't have to fetch him, but I hope he would be welcome if somebody else took care of the transportation.

Sorry, reading fail. I somehow took "Election" as "Debate".
