Why is there such pressure to have the most amazing time out (or in) this night? I certainly don't know, but I do know that I sure felt the pressure this year and amazingly it all came together in the end. Thats right, one of the most amazing NYE's in my life, and I spent it in NYC!It all came together very quickly and at the last minute. I had to beg two shifts off work, but in the end I was in the mini-van on the way to NYC on Dec 30th.
Six of us went down, Kyla, her fiance Marc, James, Craig and Gabe. Basically it was just a drunken fun filled 3 days but here's some of the highlights:
We arrived in Grenwich Village just after midnight on Jan 30th and promtly dropped out stuff off at the appartment we were crashing at that night (thanks Bandy and Sabo!) and headed out to the bars. I had a very random night, in a very busy bar where I only knew 3 other people, who were all having a big reunion. Oh and everyone had 2 names, their real one and their nick name...took me forever to figure people out. That night we slept in a very teeny appartment, were I had to share the hallway with James which was hardly wide enough for the two of us, but we were better off then Gabe who snuggled with the oven.
In the morning...we all took turns showering. Which was eventful as there was only 1 towel for 4 of us...needless to say I was #3 on the list...and well....I feel bad for #4.
We spent that whole day wandering around the city looking at some sights. We went up Rockefeller Place. Saw Times Square.
