The contemporary art center where I work (doing visual arts education and public events) is throwing the mother of all election night parties (or so we hope)!  I’m working on building a video testimonial booth (like a photo-booth, but video) and setting up blank banners for people express all their election night angst, joy and other emotions upon in words and images.  They wanted me to do on-site t-shirt silkscreening again, but I didn’t get enough notice.

I hope you will be there.

• Where: Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
• 701 Mission Street (at 3rd St.), San Francisco, CA
• When: Tuesday November 4, 2008 6:00-10:00
• Why:  It’s election night, and we need to be together, to either celebrate or to start planning the revolution.

Calling all Obamaphiles and McCaniacs, hockey-moms and Joe Six-packs, Democrats and Republicans, Independents and Undecideds! On November 4, votes will be cast and the longest presidential campaign in American history will finally be over. This historic election will usher in a new day in America and it will be time to set aside our differences, reach across the aisle, join hands in solidarity, bury the hatchet, raise a glass and PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999!

YBCA invites all artists, art lovers and artistic citizens of San Francisco to join us Tue, Nov 4 from 6–9 pm for up-to-the-minute election coverage, music, performances and FREE PIZZA WHEN THE POLLS CLOSE!

You can also write on the walls, tell us what you think the world will look like in four years, help us create a time capsule to commemorate this historic event and MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

But the best part, my friends, is that in this time of economic uncertainty—IT’S FREE! (But there will be a surcharge for all adult beverages.)

Don’t spend election night at home alone, biting your nails and wringing your hands! Join us and help spread the word about THE HOTTEST ELECTION NIGHT PARTY IN TOWN!
