New Year's Eve/Morning in Review
I think I might be getting too old for this stuff.
It wasn't too long into the evening when we realized it was our 10th New Year's Eve together. Except for a couple of crappy parties, they've all been pretty good. This one was more good than bad. There were some problems with the restaurant that I won't go into because I think they can get their problems fixed, although I won't be going back for a few months.
The Head of Femur show was fantastic, as usual. They played a few new songs off their second album due out in April and added a killer "Baba O'Reilly" cover to their set which spanned the midnight hour.
After the show, about 1:30 a.m., we headed over to a party at a classmate's house which didn't turn out to be too much fun. My little sister and I left for the after-show party and when we arrived, I realized I, like Danny Glover, was getting too old for this shit. Or maybe it was because I hadn't had anything to drink except for some wine with dinner and a gulp of cheap sparkling wine around midnight.
Eventually everyone else showed up at the after-show party and by then I was ready to go home. On the drive back I picked up some OJ and we all sat around drinking mimosas and watched Eurotrip until 5:30 or so.

I look freakish in that picture-- like Eric Stoltz in "Mask" or something...

No you don't, but I'll put up another one anyway.

Mimosas and Eurotrip? Is modern society really ready for that?

No one will know because Modern Society was either drunk, passed out or asleep at the time.

yeah, oddly enough, I'd rather spend a few minutes throwing empty bottles into a garbage bag than trashing someone else's house. I'm just glad we were steadfast in our refusal to host the Femur afterhours or I'd still be cleaning and/or putting in a new floor.
