New Year's Eve Plans?
 

Whatcha got going on?

We've been going over to a friend's house for New Year's Eve for nearly 20 years. She studied Art History at the Sorbonne and has been a francophile and gourmet cook since. The same 4 couples get together for a 4 hour, multi-course French meal with matching wines for every course. This all started when our kids were still in diapers. Now everybody's kids are in college or graduated with jobs.

It's become a tradition that I hope never gets broken. It's one of my favorite nights of the year. The prepackaged party-in-a-hotel-ballroom never appealed to me, nor has the drinking into oblivion (for the past 25 years anyway).

Let's hear your plans.

Stay home with my wife and eat hoppin' John.

Oh, and I'll pull a cork, just about like any other day. We're not very exciting people.

This is one of the rare New Year's Eves that my wife has off. It's concert night for Us. Just reworked our modest HT setup, and plan on watching some Jane Monheit, Van Morrison and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

The neighborhood bar down the street, "Jerrys" has a New Years shindig going on every year. If I go out, that would most likely be the place, 'cuz I can walk there and stagger back. But, I'm not driving anywhere, much after 9p.m.

It's gonna be quiet at my house, just my wife and me.

Happy New Year everybody.... stay safe!:D

That's us as well, we will spend a quiet evening here, doubt if we will even stay up to watch the fireworks at the Harbour. Tomorrow something fancy for dinner and a bottle of bubbly.

Happy New Year.

You're a regular wild man!!!

Chas

Hey.... I didn't say what we would be doing!!;)

I don't need no stinking mistletoe!:cool:

Not much going on here cept the whole family has a cold.

I was thinking of another kind of "toe", but I've got a dirty mind!!!

Comes from associating with lawyers!!!

Chas

Well, if chicken soup doesn't work, there's always Fishmox.

It's the real deal...read the reviews. I'll testify to the effectiveness.

Wife and kids took a drive to the nursing home to sit with my mother inlaw a few hours while I hold down the fort so a thief can't steal one of the four wheelers, tools, saddles, gas, or guns. Aint to worried about the audio gear though because the backwoods thieves haven't yet learned that it's not exactly old throw away junk. They gotta have internet knowledge 'first' to find dat der flea-bay. About all they could afford back in the day was Soundesign so when they see anything silver faced they think of it as something they threw away when their grandpa died. I know I'm not the smartest feller to be yackin', .. but I can honestly say alot of 'em have it way worse than I. :)

That's what I love about vintage audio. The average Yutz thinks it's worthless. They'd walk right past a stack of old, but primo gear worth thousands to steal your Ipod. Thank God for ignorance.:)

Dave

You gotta admit, it's hard to fit a big old Pioneer SX-something in your pocket to carry it away. BTW, Mr. Hill William, I know plenty of people with degrees that don't have an ounce of savvy, so don't dis yourself.;)

Happy New Year All!

You too, we have had one ever since the girls were here back in October, think it is finally going away.

Vintage for the win, although my speaks and amp have crept into the 80s.

I had some friends over with real dedicated drivers. They were dedicated to not getting caught. Just kidding :D

Blue, I sure wish I had a bar in walking distance!

Hooked up with friends of ours and checked in at a local hotel with relatively cheap rates, and a nice clean swimming pool. The kids swam until bed time, with a pizza party in between, and the adults hooked up later for some holiday cheer. Nice and safe, no one had to drive after 5:00 PM on New Year's Eve, and the kids had a blast.

Hey Pete, at first glance, your photo of Ralph looks like Alan Alda.

The perfect storm of wimpyness :D

Pete

Ralph, WHIMPY?

Dude, that guy forced some of the worlds most powerful corporations to bend. He is a tenacious, unrelenting workaholic. You've got to be joking.

Dave

Generally those with a quiet sense of assurance about them are much tougher than even a momma grizzly. :D

Ok. I guess he did take out Al Gore.

Wait a minute....
