Anyone thinking about going to a debate party?

I got an email invitation for an event at which they expect a couple hundred people. I assume they'll have a giant screen . . . and I don't know what else.

Has anyone ever done this? Is it fun?

I'm going to our local HRC office. I'm lucky it's only 6 blocks from my home. Cycle2016 Sep 2016 #1

The only one being promoted in my community is a fund raiser for local Republican candidates. Not gonna do it!

That was a surprise to me, loaded with sandwiches, fruit, cookies, bagels etc

Also was great fun to be in a roomful of kindred spirits and listen to the reactions! (Two giant screens set up, so good view everywhere)
