New Years Boogie!
okay so i am finally getting around to writing about my new years celebration!
luckily both will and i got let out of work early on wednesday and but it still didn't save us from the snowstorm we had to drive through in order to reach my sister brianne's place in somerville, right outside of boston. the snow was coming down hard and the roads were crazy but we made it to their place safe and sound and it only took us about a half hour longer to get there.
the original plan was to chill at brianne and yami's place and then go to their friend's studio apartment where we could see the fireworks go off right outside their windows. since it was snowing so hard, we knew the fireworks were going to be canceled. plan b was to go out and do first night boston stuff but that idea was nixed because it was TEN DEGREES OUTSIDE and the wind chill was zero degrees - it was fucking COLD! at the very last minute, brianne called johnny d's, a restaurant/club about ten minutes down the street and they had a table open for the night right next to the stage but we had to get there by 7:30PM or the guy was gonna give our table away. it was 7:20PM when she called.
we booked it as fast as we could down the street, i seriously ran because it was so darn cold out...and lo and behold! i discover that i left my wallet at my sister's apt. with all the rush of getting ready to go, i totally forgot to bring it! the bouncer made me walk all the way back to my sister's place to get my ID. granted, i don't really look my age but i don't look THAT young (who am i kidding? i get carded when i buy lighters). remember - it is TEN DEGREES OUTSIDE! i was soooo pissed! also, there was a $22 cover charge which i was not down with but i guess it *was* new years.
luckily though, that was the only bad thing that happened that night! we had great food, drinks and this awesome disco cover band called booty vortex played some groovy tunes to dance to! and it was boss to have a table right next to the band because we could sit down when we wanted to. and they had allllll these new year's hats and party favors to give out so everyone in the crowd was really into the swing of things!
