So what are you doing tomorrow night?
Second question, if you know--what time do your liquor stores close? (Or grocery stores, for those locales which do not have state liquor stores.)
Probably going to the local watering hole early, come home early, watch the ball drop (the Times Square one, not mine) and call it good. Local liquor stores are state run (beer/wine is sold in grocery stores) and they're closing at 5 tomorrow.

It's Mrs E's birthday, so we'll just have a little bit of cake and bubbly cider or something. We just don't go out on NYE - ain't worth it.
-
I live in Las Vegas where we are having TONS of parties, but I will be staying at home and away from all the intoxicated fools that come here from all over the country to party in the 29 degree weather.
I'll have a few drinks at home.
-
No plans, because we're expected to get pummeled with snow tomorrow.
Beer and liquor can be sold in Nebraska from 6:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m., in most places--although in Omaha and Lincoln, until 2:00 a.m.
That's retails and bars, both.
-
As usual, no plans. That way nobody gets bent out of shape when something happens at the last minute.
-
Party at a friend's house. We thought about a bar, but decided that we would have more fun at home, and the drinks will be cheaper :tongue:
-
December 31 is my wedding anniversary. 16 years wonderful years. I told my wife the appropriate gift was an expensive Japanese fishing reel. She's quite suspicious about that.
-
We'll watch movies at home until almost midnight then change to one of the channels covering the New Year, open a bottle of champagne to toast the new year. Of course the champagne is also our celebration for our anniversary which is New Years Eve.

21 years for us this year.
-
Wow. Woulda been 32 years for my Dad and Stepmom.
I don't go out on amateur night. Hanging at home. I can buy liquor till 9, and beer/wine till 12. But I have been collecting beers when they were on sale, and my beer fridge and wine rack are filled. I also have some Scotch if I want.
-
Heading to my in-laws to do a belated Christmas. They got us a car seat for the new arrival. :)
-
We're going out early - like 5 or 5:30 - meeting for cocktails with Runnin' Buddy and J, then home early to watch football snugged up on the couch in front of the fireplace and away from all the crazies. Both the guys would prefer to be in their "chairs" watching football without any conversation. I want to read a book, and have an occasional glance at the tv.
RB and I talked yesterday and decided we are just partied out. We even cancelled the New Year's Day "cook-a-thon" as she's being more serious about our diet than I am(everyone is telling me not to lose anymore weight... :whatever: ). Daughter, SIL, and the munchkins are still coming over, but I'm scaling way back on what I'm cooking. Just want to enjoy the family being together.

My in-laws are spending the night en route from NH to Florida. Early dinner, then watching old people fall asleep on the couch!
I hate New Year's eve, St. Patrick's Day, etc. Anyone who needs a reason to go out and get drunk isn't trying hard enough. It's amateur night.

While I ain't really old, yesterday I did an incredible job snoring on the couch - so loud I woke myself up. :p

M doesn't ever lay on the couch, he has his chair molded to his tush ::) , but T and I are convinced when the couch was made, sleeping drugs were somehow absorbed into the leather. Lay on the thing 5 minutes and that's all you will remember until you wake up a couple hours later! :yawn: I remember 10pm last night watching the start of a tv show, next thing I knew, it was 1:15 and almost the end of Craig Ferguson. 3rd night this week I've done that.... :thatsright:
-
Working, then coming home and just watching the ball drop on TV.
-
Going to bed early, but not because of work - I like to sleep
-
Working 6pm-6am, should be interesting. Doubletime and 1/2 so its all good.
-
Nothing different. Although this tiny town will be full of snowmobiles zipping up and down the roads until way after 2am.

Eww!
But yay for the extra money. Can't complain.

Quiet gathering at home with a few friends.
I don't like crowds.
-
Working at one of my moonlighting gigs Friday and Saturday, so will probably kick back tomorrow night. Might go early to a locally favored bar for one just because, though.

Avoid the drunks on the road and be safe.

Normal evening here,probably fairly early to bed.

All of you who live in quieter areas are lucky.
My first NYE in Las Vegas, we went to bed early... only to wake up at midnight thinking the city was under attack. We live four miles from the Las Vegas Strip and all of those fireworks rattled our wall decor. Now I just stay up until midnight so I don't wake up thinking we are being bombed.
-
We're going to be in bed and asleep before midnight. I do have a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge though. Our son is living with us while he tries to get back on his feet financially and it's his (MY) turn to have his son for several weeks, but even without that, we wouldn't be going anywhere. We live in a quiet neighborhood so all the excitement will be on the tv watching different parts of the world ring in the new year. I love VISITING Las Vegas, Jess, but can definitely understand how living there would quickly pall.

Lighting up the skies over Disneyland.

It will be my last night shift that started on Sunday in a blizzard! Its about 2am now and I just got home. Still on call till 6am. Most nights end about now. I think I will start my 1st day of the new year at 6am with a nice breakfast
and mimosa!

I'll be horseysitting out in the pastures again. The old blind mare is terrified of fireworks and gunshots. Every damn holiday, pinche pendejos!
-
I have a demijohn of bourbon that is overly full.
Might see what I can do about that.

Geez AM. I never thought about the horses. NYE will be at my house this year. Here, you can sit in front of the windows with a moderate amount of security. Not so much at the boyfriends tho. Every holiday there are more shells on the street. :(
Poor horses.
-
My wife and I will continue a tradition we established the year we met . . . being in the Land of Nod for the ball drop.
-
I'll be staying at home. New Years eve is amateur nite and I'm a professional drunk.
:-) :-) :-) :-)
-
It's Friday. I'm doing what I always do on Friday, new year or not. :couch:

It's better than most of the crap that comes from US television. :bird:
-
Chatting it up with some other CC'ers, just finished some chicken strips, and watching the Tosh.0 marathon.
-
Go to bed after the So. Carolina - FSU game is over. The way I see it, I stayed up and saw it go from 1999 to 2000 (so no more 19--) and from 2000 to 2001 (new millenium), so everything beyond that is mediocre.

I ended up going to a friend's house. Lots of people. Lots of food. Stopped by a famous old bar in town on the way home.
I watched some very drunk guys putting a shock collar on a very drunk friend of theirs who had been 86ed (so the story went) at a bar they wanted to go to. The thinking was that if they showed the barmaid that they (the friends) could control the wild man, they would all be allowed in.
I left just before they tested it.
-
Now that's a party.
:mental:
-
We are popping fireworks with the neighbors and drinking a mixture of liquors. The one time of year I love. We couldn't pop fireworks for years. We finally live in the sticks and it's full out crazy. The po po made a pass and left. They don't care.
That Bailey's is so good. You forget it's liquor until you get up. :-)
If you lived near us Chris, I'd love for you to come over. I have a kid about your age and he's just as silly.
Happy New Year.
-
We had a good celebration...have 3 of the 5 grandkids still here from Christmas, so we played Operation and Connect 4 all night, drank non-alcoholic bubbly at midnight, and then put everyone to bed as soon as the fireworks stopped. :-) :-)
OK, so I'm boring. Sorry. :lmao:
-
Did something unusual for me - joined Mrs E and watched the House marathon.
God, those people are stooopid. :loser:
Went to bed right after midnight. Was up waaaaaaay past my bedtime. :-)

We went to our fav restaurant early -6pm. Sat at the bar, I had a couple of wonderful dirty martinis and crab cakes, M had his cranberry and soda and roasted chicken that was realllllly good. Saw lots of people we knew and could wish them a Happy New Year, and left at 9. Came home, I crawled under the covers to watch Fox's New Year's coverage, M watched a ballgame downstairs, and came upstairs when it ended, to watch tv with me until the ball dropped in Times Square. We kissed at midnight, wished each other a Happy New Year, and went to sleep. See what y'all have to look forward to when you get to our age! :lmao:
-
It went very well. Had a bit if a scare that the wind would cancel us around 11:15 but it laid down about 10 minutes before midnight and we got the show off.

Was it worth the long 12 hour+ days setting up all this past week for a 5 minute show? **** YA!
Check out the finale that starts at 4:25 in the clip. Over 400 shells launched in 45 seconds.

AWESOME!
I'd like to say that I wish I'd been there...but we were at Epcot this summer and watched the show one night...after walking all day and being up way past midnight to get back to our room, the whole family was wiped! :-)
-
Fantastic show, DLR Pyro! Thanks for posting that!
I would love to see that in person, I think.

Damned Old MAN!!! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :tongue:
Yeah, but I was up at 0600 workin' on a translation. What were YOU doing at that hour? Hmmmm? Probably snorin' your ass off!!! :fuelfire:

I'm wondering if that "famous old bar" is the same one I'm thinking of...saddles for seats at the bar, silver dollars, etc...
