New Year’s 2007

New Years’ Day and Eve are usually big holes in my memory mostly because of hangovers and football on New Years’ Day.
But thanks to technology, we can remember (albeit painfully) what happened on New Years’ Eve. I do remember getting a late start to the evening, squeezing three guys into my small small car and getting to the party around 2300. Right after they closed the doors because of capacity limits due to the Fire code. Bleah.
But it wasn’t too bad. We were shielded from the wind and we started our own party on the sidewalk with smokers who came outside for a puff as well as other late arrivals that eventually got in. We all got a great view of the fireworks outside while the people inside kanna see them! WAHAHAH!
We all finally got inside after midnight. But the best part, we didn’t have to pay the cover charge and drank gratis for the rest of the night! So there’s some consolation there…

This is how it looked like inside. It went on full force until 0200…

Some of us took the opportunity to dress up
The alleged theme (alleged because that NEVER gets observed at Asian Occasions here) was “period specific dress”. That meant dress up as a 70’s person or an 80’s person or what have you. We saw 70’s tuxedos with the ruffle-y shirt, one really tall skinny guy dressed up like Saturday Night Fever. Sometimes it was hard to tell what period in time people were dressed up as.

Can you tell which one is the 70’s lounge lizard and the 80’s swinger?

I went as a 30’s enforcer, except I forgot my violin case…and we dun usually smile lidat

Just some other partygoers that I posted for no specific reason…
Of cors, the night always ends with someone getting carried back to the car, and ultimately, up the stairs…

Drinking time: 100 minutes, 11 shots and drinks: Free, Getting carried to the car: Priceless!
New Year’s Day was all about football, a big brunch involving spam, bacon, lots of eggs, rice and brown gravy. And for some of us, sleeping off our hangovers. Happy New Year!
