New Years Eve

* lots of happy friendly people but comparatively few drunk people on the streets compared with big cities in other Western democracies
* no kids with DIY fireworks on every block (and thus fewer burning buildings, missing fingers, eyes, hearing loss, etc.)

What I miss: dancing outside until the midsummer dawn and lazing around the bbq or beach party the next day.

when I lived in miami, we always had a new years day party that involved a big stew (ajiaco - a root-vege stew) and that party always involved tons of dancing and lazing. unfortunately, having the nye party pretty much killed my ability to have a nyd party. and getting a cold on nyd (ugh, still congested and ill feeling - who made me sick?!) prevented my ability to party and laze on nyd.

I know that sounds incredibly boring, but we're never home at night together, so boring suited just fine!

Eerie - I live on the same block and I just finished season 2... :shock: (BTW - second to last episode "I'll Take You," is EFFIN' GREAT!)

Anyway, we watched fireworks from a local rooftop, but that damn Meier building was smack-dab in front of the fireworks!!! :x
