Has this election cycle made you feel– oh, I don't know– exhausted? Or maybe you're elated! Or maybe you're simply relieved that the voting will be finished soon as the nation goes into wait-and-see mode.
Sure, you could be glued to the television, alone and anxiety-ridden. But thank goodness you live in Brooklyn, where there's plenty of watch parties, comedy shows and dancing as we wait for the results.
Please vote, then head over to one of these fun events– all on Nov. 5:
Dancing For Democracy
The Somethin’ Else Bar inside Brooklyn's Dekalb Market Hall is having an election day viewing and dance party.
