« Palindrome of the new year | Main | »
January 01, 2006
Last night I actually went to a new year's party that didn't suck. And by "didn't suck," I mean that the folks I was with got through the night without anyone barfing or crying in a bathtub. Right on.
We went to the Hotel Monticello (pronounced with a sibillant s instead of a "ch"). A new year's eve roundup in the paper promised live music, $1 champagne at midnight, a free raffle and "variety." I never figured out what the variety was -- maybe the plastic leis and noisemakers qualified? I got a raffle ticket, but it was so boisterous at the bar that I couldn't hear or see any numbers getting called out. The champagne and the live music were real enough, though.
Each of the last five years has been better than the year before. I feel like I'd be tempting fate if I wish for continued improvement in 2006. So just continued awesomeness is all I ask.

It would have been an even more awesome party had you been there, it goes without saying.
