Pencil This In

Here's our roundup of the Election Night happenings around town, and below are some more options for your night, whether you're feeling the Election Night bug or not...

110408lord-oxford1.jpgTHEATER: Robert Honeywell's zany musical LORD OXFORD BRINGS YOU THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION, LIVE! is described as Democracy in America meets Alice in Wonderland meets Cabaret: "Hello, white people. It’s just awful being under the thumb of the British. Ever since they slaughtered General Washington at the Battle of Brooklyn, handed our Southern plantations over to the slaves and restricted our settlements to the lands east of the Appalachians, we’ve had little to celebrate. But Lord Oxford feels your pain. Come to a live taping of Lord Oxford’s Hour! Where his faithful orphan sidekick Patty O’Pattycake and a merry band of Colonial actors will take your mind off the sorry state of the world through songs, skits and tableaux." Tonight's performance will be followed by live video projection of the election returns on the Brick's giant screen. – John Del Signore

EVENT: Okay, okay, one more Election Night party. The Onion will be taking in the coverage over at Fontana's at their War for the White House Extravaganza. Free Dewar's and stand-up comedy are both promised, and will both help you take the edge off.
