Chihuahua races!

i am going to stay home alone and cry, like every year.

OMG, I want a full report on Chihuahua races.

house party all the way. if you're going to a bar, be careful, it's amateur night out there.

After years of being disappointed with the holiday, we started having friends over for dinner. So. . .

I'm cooking dinner for us and another couple. Afterwards it'll be board games until midnight, and then we'll head outdoors for a champagne toast as we listen to the bells chiming across Ann Arbor. Lovely, huh?

Cooking dinner for a couple of friends, then hope to be long asleep by midnight...NYE is not my holiday, but for those who do celebrate it, have a great and safe evening.

A few friends are getting together and having an anti-party. We're gonna get stoned, eat lentil soup, and watch Futurama.

And YES on the exhausting year. I'd like to forget that it ever happened, personally.

Aww, Adrian, I hope not.

I'm torn between just going to Roberta Gregory's New Year's Day party tomorrow and/or shelling out cash for the Underground Events Center party that benefits the Low Income Housing Institute (it's $20 at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/24589 or you can get them in person at Wall of Sound Records, Zion's Gate Records, or the Underground Events Center, 2407 1st Ave (that's cash but the party from 2-8 pm is free and all ages, you only have to pay for the 21+ party after 8 pm).

I'm planning on waking up in the emergency room with a compact flourescent lightbulb in my ass and three of my fingers in a ziploc bag.

oh, the other event that looks good is even better, Science Friction: A NYE Celebration at Youngstown, over in West Seattle, and it's event 24237 at that Brown Paper Tickets site (use the prior link and replace 24589 with 24237).

That's got Flight to Mars, Suntzu Sound, Decibel Disco Laboratory, Shameless, Fourthcity, and an EMC Lounge with EMC Collective and KEXP DJ Darek Mazzone. It's $25 tho.

Don't forget to vote

I'm going to work! much more fun to serve alcohol than simply "partying".
See you at the bar at Science Friction, Youngstown...

(oh crap, Will beat me to the linx...)
Confidential to Will: Drop by the bar after 11:30, say hi and I'll give you a slogger-special.

Trying to plan a house party, but people are non-committal as usual. At the very least I know I'll be drunk and making out with multiple people tonight, so whatevs.

And fuck the bars, I am not waiting 20 minutes for a $10 drink on amature drinking night....

NYE is the most overrated holiday of them all. House parties are the only way to go. Hanging out at the Seattle Center with a bunch of drunk 18 year olds in 30 degree weather is not my cup of tea. Be safe and have a great night.

I'd go to your house party, Original Monique ...

asleep early enough to get up to steven's pass to hit the backside before its skied out.

It entirely is, period.

The only years I've ever gone out is when my friends happened to be throwing parties for the occasion, but usually I'm in bed by midnight.

Snowboarding at the pass and back to the farm to be around for the animals during the big bang at midnight.

I assure you - being single on NYE is not so great... at least not when every one of your friends is married or living with their hunny. All the happy, contented couples have their own lovey-dovey plans, none of which include inviting their one single friend along.
It makes me wish I still bartended and could be earning my rent tonight, instead of watching a dvd and taking a bath. alone.

I'm probably taking care of my sick husband.

AA

I'll be watching the final two episodes of The Sopranos on dvd. Drunken revelers: be safe.

@14 You stole my argument, but yes, bars on amateur drinking night ftl.

We're going to a friend's in Bothell to BBQ and drink. Hopefully we wake up in good shape tomorrow, as our hostess is faculty at my school and classes start on Wednesday.

And if it completely falls apart, I'm going to Original Monique's and challenging her to fisticuffs.

Like Adrian Im sitting home alone and crying. Really. I am

This will be my first New Year's living in Lower Queen Anne. I plan to sit and look down onto the sidewalk and take a drink anytime I see someone with a party hat pass by (stupid 2008 themed attire=chug). I suspect the cries of "WHOOOOO!!!!!!!" won't stop until at least 3am.

I'm going out to a friend's house in the middle of nowhere (out near Stanwood) to drink whiskey, light fireworks and sing karaoke with about a dozen of my closest friends. I am staying the hell away from bars or any other discernable signs of civilization. Happy New Year, everyone!

What's with the new year's eve hate? The new year is a whole secular holiday devoted to excess and abandonment. What is there not to like? I'll be smashed on fake spanish champagne in Brooklyn and couldn't be happier about it.

Bunch of family friends are getting together in Shoreline. We'll be eating lemon chicken, drinking non-alcoholic sparkling cider (damnit), doing some sort of Turkish stone-piling craft (damn again!), and watching some TBA movie from the 50s. At midnight we'll all pile out into the freezing cold, bang pots and pans really loudly and cheer, and then some dark-haired male carrying a bible (it's tradition, I guess) will lead us back into the house. I shall be sleeping on the floor.

Aren't you jealous? It's gonna be a helluva night.

fnarf, as a City Light employee, I'd like to thank you for making conservation a priority ;-)

@20 - i know how you feel. i had plans with some friends (couples) and they backed out.

i've now got a date with some maker's mark and tylenol pm's.

I'm crying out of my nose from this stupid rhinovirus. No booze, potstickers cooked in infused oil, and the simpsons movie. Tomorrow I will enjoy a day of college football on nyquill. Love that giant-fucking-Q.

Miss Mamie Lavona The Exotic Mulatta And Her White Boy Band playing at Conor Byrne, only $5, music starts at 10:30.

If I have to be alone on NYE, at least I can do it in the company of a few friends...

My annual tradition is to not make plans and then be mad about it later.

fnarf! you're makin' me bnarf!

Like Camille @20, I'm single and not excited about NYE. It is a couple's holiday. I'll be going to a house party (attended by a bunch of couples), and feeling sorry for myself.

CHIHUAHUA RACE!!
my 3lb little man Pedro can out run a pitbull!! where is it at i'm in to win it!

I'm with Camille and Papayas. At five minutes to midnight I will climb up to my roof, watch the Space Needle fireworks while drinking $4 a bottle champagne from QFC, and be in bed half an hour later. Same as last year.

Fuck it, I am grabbing a box of rubbers and heading to the bath house!!!

I'll be surfing the internet with my good eye.
and watching the fireworks on TV- WOO!
