Fahrenheit 9/11 house parties

MoveOn.org is sponsoring a series of house parties tonight, inspired by this weekend's humongoid hit film Fahrenheit 9/11. Looks like the coolest Chicago party will be happening at the Funky Buddha lounge (728 W. Grand), but there are plenty of other locations around Chicagoland to attend. See the Moveon.org site to see where a house party is happening in your area. Parties start at 7:00 tonight, and will include a disussion of the movie, as well as a conference call with Michael Moore.
