what are you going to do?

[foxtongue]

What are people doing to celebrate New Year's Eve this year? My soul has this dream where I find something spectacular and beautiful yet affordable, even though I know it will never happen. My version of affordable is a small, slight creature that easily falls over in wind. I just spent my last five dollars on fifty cent cup-a-noodle soup so I wouldn't starve too severely at work.

At best, I think I might get to escape away to Seattle, to watch their tower explode in fireworks, though I have no idea what else I might do. At worst I stay home and friends from all over the world try to call me at midnight to tell me what a fantastic time they are having, only to find that the lines are too busy and they can't get through.

I'm teaching my wife to schmooze. NYE I managed to get us invited to a small gathering with the local university's art department head.

She's already 100% charming, what else is there to teach her?

Not sure yet. We were thinking of either heading north (vancouver) or south (Portland), but budgetary constraints may have us partying with the local crowd. My phone always blows up on NYE, whether I'm home or not, and I do my fair share of drunk dialing too.

I'm still leaning toward coming down to Seattle. If you know of anything interesting, feel free to toss me a line.

Something free.

Word.

I love that song.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Their next album's pretty sweet too.

Oooh. That sounds like it could be delightful, actually, though only with copious amounts of hot cocoa and marshmallows.

I have fireworks left over from the 4th of July that I was planning to detonate in a mildly controlled manner. I have not yet selected a venue.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Now that's forward thinking.

We're having a party at my place. It's not shaping up to be huge, but semi-formal attire appreciated as we try and have some inexpensive class at home...

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

How're you liking your new place?

[plaidalicious.livejournal.com]

It's faboo. I can lay on my living room floor at the same time as Steve and not be touching!

I will eventually have a sewing area that isn't in the living room!

These things may not seem like much, but they are full of awesome for me after 3 yrs of our tiny bsmt suite.

Planks are playing

a show with Petunia (with the Vipers) and the Highballs, but it's far from free. Also, no fireworks!

"the best bang for you’re buck." makes me wonder just what they're talking about, but that does look like fun. Thanks for the head's up. I can think of a few people that'll be perfect for.
