Free Events This Week: Election Night Watch Parties, H&M's Opening, Gringo Bingo

F our collective L's: It's Monday morning. We know, you're depressed. Us too. But don't worry, it's only 17 days till we stuff ourselves silly for Thanksgiving and 45 until those love handles go up in flames when the world comes to its fiery demise. So say the Mayans.

And if by chance we don't all die in a blazing apocalypse, it's only 50 days till Christmas.

Either way, there's something special to look forward to.

And this week, you can look forward to a whole host of free events. So save your pennies for the afterlife.

Tuesday:

• Young & Powerful for Obama Watch Party: Locale still TBD, but join fellow donkeys to root for the current prez.
• Young Republican Watch Party at the Doubletree: Join fellow elephants and keep those fingers crossed for the Romney cause.
