I'm kicking around the idea of having a party to celebrate the Democratic National Convention and raising money for the Obama camp at the same time. (Leo is not invited

) The convention is on the last week of August, Monday through Thursday, so I'm wondering if I should hold off until the weekend after...but that's Labor Day Weekend. The weekend prior would be, well, prior, but that might be better for all concerned. Or we could say screw it and have a weeknight shindig. I know mousepod has set up a recurring Thursday night thing as well...
I'm adding a poll.
Thoughts? Interest? No donations required, just good company, though there would be an empty jar and a donations website available.
Full disclosure: I'm still registered Libertarian and have never voted Dem in my life...but this seems important to me...any takers?
