Presidential Watch Party

Regardless of whether or not you are happy with the results of the presidential election, I sincerely hope each and everyone of you went out and voted!
I went down to Woody's Tavern at the Union last night for the watch party. I was very interested to see what the atmosphere would be like with members of different parties all watching the same results in the same room. It was very crowded and there was a lot of chatter throughout the night. I didn't get there till closer to 7:30, but my roommate was already there and saved a seat for me up near the T.V. screens. There were trivia questions and guest speakers as the night went on, not to mention the free food! I didn't stay until the very end, but I heard it was insane when they announced the president! Every time they called the winner of a particular state there would simultaneously be loud cheers as well as boo-ing, and I can only imagine how loud and crazy it must have been when the results came it.
I definitely thought it was an interesting experience, and I'm glad I went even if it was only for a little while.
