Presidential Debates à Paris

I'm too exhausted to articulate how cool this really was. (Walking hope at 6am will do that, you know?) So just trust me--it was really cool.

A few friends of mine from school and I watched the debates last night. How, you may ask, did you manage that, seeing as though they didn't start until 3am Parisian time? I'll give you a hint: It required a lot of patience, activity, alcohol and coffee.

But it was awesome! Here were in a packed bar in the middle of Paris in the middle of the night. It was one of those traditional Parisian places, with old stone walls and thick arched beams supporting a dimly lit ceiling. Scattered around the place were huge LCD screens, and before each one were crowds of young Americans clad in their party's flair watching with pleasure and anxiety. It was freakin' cool.
