Ummm, do I even have to say it??? IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED, YOU BETTER GET THE FUCK OUT THERE AND DO IT. This election is WAY TOO IMPORTANT so PLEASE DON'T THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY! I waited an hour and a half last week to vote early so you have ZERO excuses. (Unless you're voting for McCain. Then you can stay home.)
By now you must know that we here at
Don't Sleep Orlando are backing Mr. Obama as our new fearless leader. Actually, I guess I can only speak for myself but I would assume Mel-a-Monster is down with the O-man too. So where can you party down (or, in the unlikely case of a Republican victory, drown your sorrows) on election night? Read on.
Before we get down to where you should spend your evening, I suggest you download this song, play it on repeat and then send every goddamn good vibe and positive thought to Obama as humanly possible.
Nas - Black President.mp3Now, on to the festivities.
Phat-N-Jazzy is hosting an Election Night Special with the 10-piece band of
Gerry Williams. According to his Myspace page, his influences include Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Al Green, Johnny Guitar Watson and Prince, so you can't really go wrong there.
Over at the Matador,
C. U. Next. Tuesday will be holding another election party to either "attempt to fix the last eight years or one hundred more in Iraq." Let's hope for the former.
And finally, while I do not usually support or endorse the lameness that is Church Street, the hip hop duo of
DJ Y-Not and
Dolo will be playing their election night street party. Warning: you may be surrounded by super-white republicans, but at least the music will be tight.
And
download Y-NOT's latest mix of super awesome presidentialness to get you in the spirit!
And on a completely unrelated Halloween note, I had the best costume of all time: Stevie Wonder.
Yes We Can... Change the World!
