Josh here.

I'm at Mayor Nickels party ... way down on 1st Ave. S. at the UFCW hall.

There's 35 people here tops. Mostly Nickels city and campaign staff. One of theme, who's been phone banking in recent days told me they "didn't know what to think" about how it would go tonight based on her phone calling. (I must say, typically what you hear is stuff about what great response they're getting. So...)

Here's the room:

Nickels is supposed to speak at about 8:45. The first drop is at 8:15.
