There are only three things that could get my parents to leave the house on a weeknight after the hour of 8PM:
A family emergency
A Doobie Brothers concert
A TimesTalks event
The New York Times Presents:

And so I will be spending Election Night with my mom and dad, Gail Collins, Bill Keller, Jill Abramson, and other members of the Times Editorial and Opinion teams. I wonder how they’re planning to get us to leave at 10PM? You know the results won’t be final by then.
My first question: Do I get to dress up? I have a navy blue, semi-formal dress that would look just splendid in the red and blue light cast by the U.S. Electoral map!
