What you did for New Years...

[DianaBanana]

Went to Hard Rock Cafe, D.C....was a total bust. Maybe 150 people total. The balloon drop malfunctioned, that was funny. On the other hand, it was easy to get to either bar and get your drinks in less than a minute.

:smilegrin:

Oh and Jimmy's Chicken Shack (the band) wasnt too shabby.

[Kainen]

I did what I do every year.. worked.

I was at the peak of my cold that Friday. After moving the last of my stuff into my condo, I went to Giant and bought some food, beer, and Sudafed. Ate dinner, had a few beers, popped the Sudafed and took the metro down to Ireland’s Four Provinces.

Didn’t shave, didn’t dress up... did the anonymous stranger thing. I was feeling like crap, so I was just there to have beers and watch the revelry.

I’ve never done this before, but some chick came to the bar to order a drink. I wanted to use the bathroom and asked if she would save my spot. She said ok if I made out with her after midnight. I said sure and did my business. She was by no means even good looking.

I get back and she asks me how its going. I told her I had just gotten out of jail and that it was great to be free again. She asked what I had done, but I told her I didn’t want to go into it. Then I told her I lied about making out with her, that I just wanted my spot back, and that I lied about being in jail. She walked off very confused.

Rang in the new year the strangers next to me, then stumbled home and passed out.

[Miss X]

Sounds like fun! ;)


I went to a really cool bar/club with my friends from uni, there were far too many people in there but it was ok! First time drinking serious amounts of alcohol in two years so I went a little crazy. Was drinking reef (orange/passionfruit drink with vodka in) and having two shots of apple vodka with each bottle which was apparently a really bad idea!

Got totally smashed, told people I was a friend of harry potters from hogwarts and that I had a broomstick I was flying home on, was wearing really high stilleto shoes and kept almost slipping over, danced around, the DJ tried to hit on me but he was ugly so I had to run away from him, drunk more vodka and danced more then eventually we got home and I assume I just fell asleep!

I very rarely drink and the hangover the next day reminded me why so Im back to diet coke for the next year! Hehe

[Parkbandit]

I went to work at around 11:30PM.. got home about 1:00am and went to bed.

Never been a big NY celebrater.

That's my hood, I live around the corner. I was at the huge party at the Grand Hyatt, though. Expensive, but it was open bar.:D

Played Halo2 live with friends all night until the earlier morning while getting drunk off of Mudslides. Watched dvd's on our other tv - Bourne Supremacy, Collateral Damage, Napoleon Dynamite and a few others.

[Skeeter]

woke up friday sick as fuck. Spent the entire day alternating from the bathroom to the bed. fell asleep before the ball dropped.

Happy Fucking New Year!

[Sean]

Got hammered in upstate NY and spent a ton of money in the process.

[Rutilcaper]

Good jesus christ. That had to be the best night of my life, bar none. Woke up the next morning and, aside from the hangover, my ear hurt from the paper clip that rested there all night, through hurt from the erotic asphyixation which, bizarrely, totally impressed this chick, and I had "I love men" written on my arm in green sharpie. Wasn't what I ASKED to be written, but, well, you know. I distinctly remember stumbling through "Heart and Soul" on the piano for like an hour and belting along to Bikini Kill's seminal album, Reject All American.

My friend Beth, hostess and the girl I have a (not so) secret crush on, opened the fridge at the end of the night to reveal the final Yuengling with a "Daaaaaaaaave". After what must of been a score of beers and nearly a whole magnum of champagne my liver said no, but the beer was drunk!

I'm almost certain that now there's some semi-homoerotic pictures of me floating out there in Philadelphia somewhere... what can I say, I'm a slave to the rhythm!

[Asha]

I went to a party. It was fairly lame, aside from setting off fireworks. Here in VA, they're illegal, and people around where the party was (real nice neighborhood) are quick to call the police. So we [myself and a few friends] set a couple off, ran across the neighborhood, set a few more off, ran a ways, then set the rest off. It was fun, even though my legs were a little stiff yesterday. Also, setting off a bottle rocket on a manhole isn't a good idea, because it will fall down one of the holes (atleast the first time, when you don't think to balance it with a match), which is actually really funny.

I got mad lifted off the augmentin and advair inhaler, took a gigantic dump, and went to sleep...

...Still coughing, but it's not green.

[HarmNone]

I managed to get out of the New Year's party from hell in a little over two hours, come home, change clothes and curl up with family and cats. :)

[Soulpieced]

I went to a bar called Third Edition in Georgetown. Nothing like paying 9 dollars for a Red Bull and vodka (I only had one and didn't leave a tip, seriously... 9 dollars for a bit of vodka and 2 splashes of Red Bull in a plastic cup?!).

[Shadya]

Woodeye at the Wreck Room....good times!

[Hanksbane]

Vegas.....

You know the line, What happens in Vegas.......

You want a good place to hang thats much closer... Ram’s Head in Savage MD. Just shoot up route 1 before 32. Fancy dining upstairs, Rathskeller pub in the basement. Live bands almost every night. Young crowd. Laid back. Cheap pints.

I didn't have to work until 1am, so we went out with my friend Jordan and my other friend Lisa, who was visiting. We went to dinner at Ping Pang Pong (mmm, noodles), spent about two hours on a double-deck ($500) and then taught Lisa how to play dice. We watched the Strip fireworks from the top of the parking garage at the Gold Coast and then drove across the street.

It took less time than I thought to find a space, so we went inside with like 45 minutes to spare. We sat at the cafe and got some coffee, and just as we were about to eat strawberry shortcake...

Bam, lights out. 15 seconds of total darkness in a packed casino is not a good thing. It wasn't quite the mob scene that comes to mind from Ocean's 11, but something about mobs of people + power outage = angry mobs of people, I don't know what it is.

I went straight upstairs and didn't have a second of downtime for the rest of the night, but it was awesome. I love busy nights where there are a zillion things going on, so if I've gotta be at work, at least it was my favorite kind of night.

-K

[Soulpieced]

Ha, we could meet up there sometime, as that's maybe 5 minutes from my place. The wife lives in Northern Virginia, so that's why I was in that area.

[Souzy]

I got out of work at 9PM went bar hopping then to a local club, got shit faced and went to a house party and got even more shit faced, then eventually passed out around 12PM the following day. Happy New Year's everyone.
