Out of town visiting relatives.

But the Fremont Arts Council is holding WinterFeast on the last day of the solar year.

Snowboarding at Mount Baker. I can deal with asshole drunks at any of the clubs in Seattle any day of the year. But powder...THAT'S special!!

Any accomplished drinker knows that New Year's eve (along with St. Paddy's day) is amateur night.

I'll be in bed by 11pm.

A good friend of mine once said, "I hate bars on the weekends. Because they're full of people who go to bars on the weekend."

NYE and St. Paddy's are like that times a million.

What Rotten @3 said. So will I.

@5 so say we all!

I think the Country Lips are playing at the Blue Moon. With founding member Tom visiting from England and rocking some harmonica. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Master Musicians of Bukkake/Rose Windows/Midday Veil/Diminished Men @ Underground Events Center! With Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls hosting! Fundraiser for the Vera Project, with a photo booth by Cairo and visual arts by Adair Tudor, Ben Van Citters, Hair & Space Museum, and others!

I was talking to a friend back on the east coast a couple years ago a few days before New Years. He got an email while we were talking and told me of his updated plans. "Well it looks like the friend who invited me to the new years party that I wasn't going to go to in an effort to lead him to think I had other things to do so he'd like me better isn't having the party after all."
