The Melbourne Cup is an Australian Horse race that is only about 2-3 minutes long -- but the parties for it are all day events.
There were about 60 tables at the party that filtered into this bar -- and each table decides on their own theme -- hence the pirates & Greek goddess outfits:
Since all of the folks at the party had been drinking since 10am - nobody really wanted to talk politics, so it was actually a pretty politically-calming place to be.
And now it's bedtime -- happy voting to everyone!
Love,

You are so lucky you will be awake for the results. It will probably be 3 or 4am here. A lot of people are staying up all night - there are lots of parties etc. Sadly, since my first paper is due on Friday, an all-night party is not in my best interest.
