Post-election parties in Beijing: Margaritaville
UPDATE: Standing room only at The Rickshaw as Barack Obama gives his victory speech. Got a feeling there is going to be a lot of partying tonight.
UPDATE II: New party updates here.

“Does anyone know of any planned after [post-election] parties?” – MC
No, but one option for those who want to celebrate that a slight majority of voting Americans have chosen a ticket with candidates who regularly form complete and coherent sentences* is The Saddle Cantina: Its monthly Cinco de Drinko party is today and features half-price beverages until midnight. (After a half-dozen Margaritas, you will be in the perfect mindset for an interview with Katie Couric!) You can continue the fun when sibling establishment The Rickshaw starts its monthly Hair of the Dog party at midnight and offers 24 straight hours of the same half-price deal.
Then again, I’m at The Rickshaw now and this place is wall-to-wall people as we wait to hear Obama’s victory remarks.

* Yeah, yeah, I know many of my American friends are excited that Obama won, but I’m amazed a country I associate with creativity and industriousness spent nearly two years to end up with this slate as a whole. Contract it out to me next time: I’ll find four suitable candidates in the American community in Beijing alone (kidding). Party on, people. (Disclaimer: I may still be bitter that the local Barack Obama fundraising club didn’t use my “Obama Alabama Slamma” shooter idea.)
