Friend --

Tomorrow I'm heading to Charlotte for our convention.

I want the folks who've stepped up for this election to be together when I accept the nomination on Thursday. And thanks to some of this campaign's best volunteers, there's a way for you to do that from New York.

Your neighbors are planning a watch party, where you can tune in to the big night and be part of the discussion about the next steps for getting out the vote in your hometown.

RSVP now for the convention watch party in New York on Thursday, September 6th.
What: Convention watch party in New York

 Where: 340 west 28th St. 10d
New York, NY 10001

 When: Thursday, September 6th
7:30 pm

 RSVP now

 Invite your friends to come, too,
on Facebook and Twitter.

There will be a lot going on that night, both at the convention and at the volunteer-organized party near you. We'll talk about what we've got to do next to keep moving our country forward.

Before I speak, there will be a livestream -- hosted by my friend Kal Penn -- that features special guests and exclusive interviews with folks like Michelle and Joe Biden.

We've come a long way together. This should be a night to savor -- and prepare for the decisive stretch of this campaign.

Be a part of it at the convention watch party in New York:
