My good friend (and bridesmaid) Erin is the founder of the Atlanta chapter of a National group called Drinking Liberally. It's a really great politically charged group that gathers everything Thursday at a local watering hole in Decatur called the Thinking Man Tavern. She and Charlie invited Al and I to come hang out, watch the debates, and hang out.
For the Vice President Debates, the Thinking Man hosted quite a few groups and had the debates playing on a projector screen and piped the sound through the speaker system of the bar.
It was interesting because the hugely crowded bar became so quiet when the debates started and the only noise came from responses to Palin's use of the word Maverick.

It was a really cool environment and actually standing room only when the Debates started.
A CNN crew was there and actually interviewed Al which was really exciting. He spoke very well on camera and made some amazing points. I don't think we'll have any way of finding out if he actually made it to TV, but it was still pretty cool.
It's so awesome to be able to document such an exciting part of American history in one of the most historical elections ever. How exciting to see the progression of our country when candidates on the each side of the ticket transcend race and gender. Can't wait for election day!
