Where to go during election night

Plenty of people will tell you the place to be during the election action in the US is the Melkweg in Amsterdam. No doubt it is going to be very big, as every expat and non expat I know it planning to head over there, watch the results and boogie til 4am. At this point it is officially sold out, but hey.. anything is possible on election night.

I did want to make another recommendation and a shameless self promotion in many ways: tomorrow night starting at 8pm, yours truly will be moderating Election Night at Tivoli de Helling in Utrecht. The event will involve a debate and live music and dancing and well.. who knows what the night will bring. The whole thing is being thrown by a coalition of young political parties in the Netherlands. Word is that it is also sold out but still you can show up around midnight and you should be able to get in for cheap.

Surely these two aren't the only two election parties in the Netherlands tomorrow night, but keep your eyes and ears opened and around 2am, you'll hear the moans and or the cheers.- I predict cheers.
