Sunlight's Party Time is a project to track parties thrown at the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions as well as fundraising activities by all lawmakers running for Congress that happen all year round in Washington, D.C. and beyond. Since we don't hear about all the parties, you can also tell us if you know where the party is and we don't.
