HAPPY NEW YEARS 08

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 2, 2008, 3:41 AM

_{So, I just typed a really long and awesome review about new years, then IE killed itself on me; therefore as I am just too pissed off to rewrite everything I will keep this short.

So me and some friends got the insane notion to do the ball drop countdown at Times Square for new years. We ended up standing out in the cold for a good 10 hours; it was FREEZING, DIRTY, NOISY, PAINFUL, and overall just AWESOME

We arived at the square shortly after lunch, when either side of Broadway was already crammed with street vendors (selling those outrgeously annoying 2008 glasses and party horns); we had to get our bags checked, then the cops began fencing teh crowd in.

After awhile we discovered that if we left the fenced in areas we were not allowed back in, and it also never occured to them that they should provide portypotties and trash bags within the baricades, which sucked (they were, however, kind enough to toss out these cute red Pontiac hats and New Years balloons to everyone). We ended up ordering McDonalds and coffee from the cops (which was hilarious).

The performing artist lineup wasnt too bad; we had Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Velvet Revolver (and a few others I dont remember). We wasted time by watching the shows and TV boadcasts (I spent so much time staring at that jumbo Coca-Cola ad screen I think I'll dream Coke nightmares from now on).

In the end? I still don't quite get the point of standing out in the street garbage and ice, eating confetti for 10 hours just to watch a big ball with lights on it being chucked off a roof; but what the hell. After all, what would new years in NY be without doing something crazy?

----

Happy new years guys...

...And merry late Christmas!}

It sounds a lot better than sweating it out on a porch hoping that the fireworks will go ahead despite the fire ban! We got to see a few illegals go off and a few New Year drunks arguing over what year it actually was.
