Alamo Drafthouse to simulcast debate
However, you can still watch the debate at one of many candidate-related events or head over to the Alamo Drafthouse South to watch the simulcast with a couple hundred cheering and jeering friends (and frenemies).
“Lately, the gloves have been coming off between the neck-and-neck democratic hopefuls, and we expect this debate on the eve of the Texas primary to be a democratic bare-knuckle brawl,” Alamo owner Tim League said.
For a little added drama, the Drafthouse will be dividing the audience in half, with Clinton supporters on one side and Obama supporters on the other. And, since it is the Alamo, there will be beer, so expect a lively (and potentially slurry) debate of policy.
According to the Alamo: “We’ve held parties for the Superbowl, the NCAA championship, the Final Four and the World Cup. Believe it or not, the most spirited crowds and energized fans are those of the sport d’jour: presidential politics. This is one show you do not want to miss!”
The show is free, but seats can reserved in advance by pre-purchasing a $10 food and drink voucher here. You can indicate your candidate preference when choosing the voucher: Undecided, Clinton or Obama.
