General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Some of you have been on this site for over a decade. [View all]I happened to be, of all places Austin T E X A S!!!!
At a convention. On Nov 4th I had just arrived in town. Maybe 5 pm ish. Went to my hotel. Then wandered around a bit looking for a bar/grill..wandered into the Driskill--gorgeous big old hotel you Texans know, I am sure.
I heard some crowd noise....
I walked up the huge main staircase, turned right and OMG.. walked into the TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY---- P-A-R-T-Y!. Maybe a thousand people ?, (maybe I am stretching it a bit) several big screen TV's-- news stations on.
....snacks, munchies and a couple bars. How could I leave--
About an hour later more people started coming in, then more..Soon the stairs were packed, all the way out the door,, line around the corner. The hotel personel would by then only let people in when someone left because there was no more room.
When each state was called for the BIG O.. pandemonium and more booze..
Anyway, ya'll know what happened, and when it did I was stunned..totally stunned..and everybody went absolutely bonkers !! I mean the place went effin' INSANE! everybody cryin', sceamin'... huggin' and kissin' perfect strangers. I've never experienced anything like that in my life...
