Election night events in Atlanta

Amid the rancor of the waning campaign season, surely the Democratic Party, Republican Party and Libertarian Party all could use a good party.

So as a public service to our fellow Americans, we offer a simple, one-point platform: We're here to help you find somewhere fun to be to on election night Tuesday.

This will be results-watching central for the Democratic Party of Georgia.

InterContinental Hotel

U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss and U.S. Rep. Tom Price have reserved ballrooms that night, so it's a good bet that'll be a gathering place for lots of Peach State Republicans.

595 North
595 North Ave., Atlanta
A nonpartisan election night party begins at 7 p.m. The night features live music, hors d'oeuvres (and a full menu by order), cash bar and lots of politics. "We're encouraging individuals to come from the polls," party promoter Christopher Thomas said. A slew of artists will perform country, pop, R&B and hip-hop, he said. Celeb guests scheduled to attend include Cee-Lo Green and Q. Parker of 112. Thomas, 33, said he's expecting a young and enthusiastic crowd, in keeping with what he's seen during this campaign season. "We work with young people all the time, as some of our clients target teenagers or college students," he said. "I've never seen this much college-level involvement [in politics]."
