Want to know a funny story?
The LB Democratic Club sent us a press release a few days ago, announcing their watching party for the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin tonight, at Smooth’s Sports Grille at 7:00pm. Not surprising, considering they just hosted a similar party during last week’s debate.
So, we called the LB Republican Party, to see where their watching party would be held. Hilariously, they said Smooth’s as well – only, on the restaurant rooftop and with a $25 cover to be put towards helping local Republican candidates.
Were the watching parties for both Republicans and Democrats going to be held at the same place, at the same time? We sure hoped so! We then received word that Smooth’s was reserving the lower level strictly for the Major League Baseball playoffs, and since the LB Democratic Club had reserved their party first, they would be given the rooftop and the Republican Club would be out of luck. Hmmm…
Calls to the Republican Club were not returned, so as far as we know the Democratic watching party will be at Smooth’s and the Republican watching party is TBD. If anyone has information about the situation, please let us know.
UPDATE: We’ve been informed that both watching parties will definitely be at Smooth’s tonight.
