Any Obama Inauguration parties in Pattaya?

[PattayaMale]

I know that there is a party at the Roadhouse in Bangkok. But when a friend who arrives in Pattaya Jan 6 asked me if there were any in Pattaya, I thought it was a good question to ask.

 

Does anyone know of any? Maybe if there is enough interest one of the bars or restaurants will consider doing one

Better in a restaurant than a bar.

Here is the information I have posted on boards about the Bangkok Party...

maybe you can contact them and see if they learn of one in Pattaya....

 

Here is where you and your friends can PARTY!l

DAT Announces Obama-Biden Inauguration Party -- evening of January 20 - and more DAT activities

Dear DAT members,

 

Seasons greetings to you all! Here is wishing that you spend many hours and days over the holiday

season with friends and family.

 

First of all, save the date -- January 20, 2009! DAT in Bangkok is already planning for the New Year as well,

and the biggest first event we will have is an Inauguration Celebration Party, to watch live the Inauguration

of Barack Obama and Joe Biden as our new President and Vice-President!

 

DAT will be gathering at the Roadhouse Barbecue (map at www.roadhousebarbecue.com) from 8:30 p.m.

onwards on the night of Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

 

The Inauguration Ceremony will take place between 10 and 12 p.m. (Bangkok time), but there will be plenty of coverage, parades and other events leading up the formal ceremony -- so come on down and enjoy this historic occassion in the company of friendly fellow Democrats! DAT will also be encouraging members to send

their best wishes and sign the two white DAT t-shirts that we will be sending to President Obama and

Vice-President Biden at the White House -- let them know that the Americans in Thailand are sending

all best wishes in their mission to restore our country's international standing in these dire times in the world!

 

DAT will have our t-shirts available, and there are plans for a special inauguration coffee mug too!

More details will be forthcoming on all of this, including possible Inauguration Parties organized

in the provinces too.

I don't see any reason to be opposed to it. To me, it's just like the Super Bowl. If there is a party somewhere and it's something that interests you, then go. If it isn't, then why would anyone object to it? Simply don't go. What's the problem?

[PattayaMale]

I agree with you GB. However if there was enough interest I was thinking of putting one together at some venue. If not I will just invite some friends to my house to eat, drink, and watch it.

From what I understand, there already are plans for several people to gather at the Corner Bar in Sunee Plaza to watch.

I have also decided to just stay in Pattaya for the Inauguration. After spending this weekend in BKK I figured it would be just as cost effective and festive if I had a few folks over for a viewing party. So far I have about eight guests and room for a few more. If any board members want to attend please feel free to PM me.

Frankly, I for one, can think of no better reason than to celebrate. On election night I was at a Gay Democratic party in the US, and watching that historic event amongst friends, sharing in an international sigh of relief, is something I will never forget. Nor would the First Lady elect's choice of gown (just hideous).

 

Surely we should all get together and join the planet in a celebration of this 8 year long nightmare's end, and a hope for a new beginning.

I do not know about other Americans, but I am not celebrating Obama's inaugeration as much as I am celebrating the end of George Bush's Presidency. Now that really deserves a party

AMEN

Now we are getting into the spirit. As for me, I am ecstatic about both the ass leaving, and the prospect of such a brilliant, open-minded individual from humbled origin taking power at such a vital point of history.

In the states we elect Presidents every four years, with one only allowed a maximum of 2 terms of office, while in the UK PM's seem not to last too long on average. Yours is more of a parliamentary system.

 

In the US, the most despised president (just 25% approval rating) is leaving after 8 years, leaving us with massive deficits, 2 wars, the worst economy since the Great Depression.

 

That is why we are so giddy about this event. Feel free to share our joy.

For American gay's, it is also a possibility of new national legislation that will put gay's on a civil par with married (man and women). Hopefully now that the democrats also hold a majority in both house and senate.

 

If this happens it may make it easier to take your long term Thai BF to the states.
