Here's the place to go if you're interested in hanging out with a bunch of fun families tonight. If you're in the Portland area, there'll be a bunch of us at the BarackSpace (usually known as the BackSpace), doing it UP. Kristin, who writes for Poliglots, Blue Oregon (and sometimes guest-posts for us, here, at MOMocrats), along with her fellow Poliglot, Shawn, have organized the event conjoined with the Activistas (otherwise known as Urbanmamas). They were also gracious enough to invite me to join in as a sponsor; and I'm sweetening the pot with some kick-ass door-prizes from Black Wagon and Urban Bliss Design. Woo!
Here's what you'll need to know about it all:
You are invited to an entirely kid-friendly election night party at the BackSpace Cafe (renamed the BarackSpace Cafe until Nov. 5th) at 115 NW 5th on November 4, starting at 5pm.
The BackSpace Cafe is huge, with lots of room for kids to run around and a full menu of vegetarian/vegan food for sale. It also has a big parking lot across the street.
It’s being hosted by Poligots, as well as Activistas and MOMocrats. We’re so excited!
The party will have:
**** Maps to color as the results come in (with LOTS of blue crayons :))
**** Balloons
**** Pin the tail on the Democratic donkey
**** Other games and kiddo diversions
**** Of course, lots of other great kids to play with.
And, it’s FREE. We just want you to come and celebrate what we hope will be a fantastic night for Oregon and our nation.
Sorry I am 3 hours away from your party, but we will be celebrating on the Oregon coast too! Small local Dem. office was hopping busy and happy this morning!
