Final Debate Party tonight!

Reminder that the Royale will be hosting a final Presidential debate watch party tonight. The debate starts at 8 and goes to about 9:30. We will be running a special menu this evening for the peoples with specials on vegi burgers and all american hot dogs. We will also debut an exclusive cocktail "That One" which consists of whiskey, cinnamon and cider.

We will also have pumpkin carving in the backyard for any who want to make some election themed pumpkins. We already have a few carved (thank you Leslie and Kelly.) Check out http://yeswecarve.com/

We still have Obama shirts available, especially the popular South Side for Obama shirts- this is the last run we are going to get, so get them now before they are out! All money after the cost of the shirts is going to the Obama campaign. http://www.myspace.com/southside4obama

We also will have a select number of the Shepard Fairey posters and some yard signs that we will be giving away after a history quiz after the debates.

This crew contacted me and plans on stopping by on Saturday night:

"The Obama Mobile (www.artthechange.org/obamamobile): a VW bus painted with Obama Stencil Art is traveling across the country through each swing state in order to bolster hope & energy, galvanize local volunteers, support grassroot campaign efforts and generate media attention. The bus is half-way through its trip and will be stopping in St. Louis this coming Friday and Saturday. The bus is a moving political art station engaging people with stencil t-shirt, yard sign and mural-making projects. A filmmaker is documenting the mobile's swing state trek in order to capture the vibrant grassroots nature of the Obama campaign. Join up with the Obama Mobile during its stay at one of the following locations:

Friday Evening 5pm – 10pm - "The Loop" University City (on Delmar)

Saturday morning 10am – noon – Central West End

Saturday afternoon 2pm – 6pm – South Grand

Saturday evening 8pm – 1:30am the Royale"

VP Debates party at the Royale tomorrow

So the Royale will be hosting the Vice Presidential Debates on 
Thursday night October 2nd.  We had a fun and feisty crowd down here 
for the Prez debates last Friday, and feel free to stop in to watch 
Biden square off with Palin, and with that kind of lineup this debate 
could reach into the area of sitcom.  The party starts at 7, debate at 
8 with food and drink available to order.  The debates will be 
captioned and played over the indoor and outdoor house system, and the 
fire pits will be in full effect for the outdoor courtyard.   Consider 
getting down here early and grabbing a bite to eat with happy hour 
specials in full effect until 6pm.

All good citizens, residents and roustabouts are welcome regardless of 
affiliation of party, campaign or otherwise.  Civil public discourse 
is encouraged.  We unfortunately are out of Obama yard signs, but I 
would like to thank everyone who gave their cocktail napkin essays on 
their favorite President.  I would also like to remind people that the 
deadline to register to vote is in next Wednesday, so bring some 
friends down and register them here at the bar.  Remember- everyone 
who lives in Missouri needs to vote in Missouri!  Change of address- 
register again right here at the Royale!

I usually have a longer detailed account and updates about the Royale, 
but I have a full day I need to get to right now!  If I am not there 
on Thursday night, don't fret.  I have put in to be a local driver for 
the Biden crew while they are in town for the debates.  Being a driver 
was one of my favorite jobs.  I was a driver at Saint Louis University 
for my work study, and I have done all sorts of delivery/driving since 
from hauling carnival games to escorting a company of South Korean 
businessmen.  I still hold my full out class B CDL. The best driving 
job I had was driving trucks to Mexico!!  I hope I get to drive some 
of the Biden officials to Mexico.
