I'm planning on making it into new york on the 29th and staying through to the 2nd. I definitely want to get some quality boozling in and meet more NYC noize folks.

Also, parties???

Laura B**** has invited you to the event "New Years Eve at the Pennsylvania Hotel"

i do not want to end up in manhattan :(

― jw (ex machina), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

o rly? i figure as long as i stay away far far away from the ball-dropping spectacular (& manhattan in general) i should find good hijinx

plus, NYE in prov is dudly, filled with dangerous vehicular drunks

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 20:36 (seventeen years ago) link

one of my favorite bands in chicago was supposed to play a show nye but instead they decided to break up. now i have no f'ing idea what i'm going to be doing. probably head over to the bottle as it's always cheap and it's a short stagger home.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 20:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I generally favor the nights of Dec. 30 & Jan. 1 -- which this year should find me at Metropolitan bar New Wave (elmo, I recommend) on 30th and possible field trip to Inland Empire on New Years, tho how many noizers will be up by 5 or 6pm I can't say.

Might try fireworks at Grand Army Plaza on NYE this year, followed by my PkSlope bar.

― Dr M (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

elmo yay! glad you're coming to town again!

i have a brunch party to go to but no evening plans yet.
also, it is, uh, my birthday and i would like it not to suck...

maybe eat them 1/3 of the way into the film? that could work best cuz you'd still be HI and maybe even peaking at the end of the movie.

yeah but you'd probably be kinda of bored and terrified too.

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

coming out of the dark into the lgiht while peaking = BAD IDEA

i think it sounds like a nice plan for a different movie.

NYE at the Bottle is $25, I believe. Girl Talk is performing. I'll be kind of envious if you go.

jon is always depresso! cheer up! don't bum me out too

the real kids are playing at work, along with about 4 other questionable bands..
not really looking forward to spending a lot of $$$$$. each year i end up at some random place when the clock hits 12...like falling asleep on the train. this year? who knows

morbs, i think i would really like to see inland empire while in nyc, because i'm not sure when it will eventually play in prov. apparently i just missed a run of screenings in boston.

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Thursday, 21 December 2006 02:02 (seventeen years ago) link

is there anyone left in brooklyn over the xmas holiday? i refuse to go anywhere over xmas for my 3rd year straight. I have stocked up on booze and videos.

I'll be back for NYE. I'm halfway thinking Ward if maybe we make it some kind of noize-pop dance party...? Can we convince le bartender of choice? SRSLY do not want to end up at uncomfortable weird expensive party.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 21 December 2006 03:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Honestly, I wish I didn't live close enough to NYC to have to go home. I'd love to have like a week to do nothing except get centered and not depressed by bad memories.

xpost: laurel, maybe we need to get a dj night so next year we can have our own party

jon, you also have an invite for an impromptu party at O'HARE INT'L AIRPORT due to WEATHER CONDITIONS.

i don't know who girl talk is but it will be the debut of jimmy hollywood & jered from the ponys band "white savage". i'm really hoping for a train wreck in the best sense of the words.

elmo, Inland on high totally terrible (for same reason as 2001, it doesn't need them). but then the one time i tried to trip the shrooms musta been from Campbell's Soup.

My usu NYE strategy is cower in apt. til 1 am, then go out til 7.

My usu NYE strategy is cower in apt. til 1 am, then go out til 7.

damn, why didn't i ever think of this?

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:10 (seventeen years ago) link

the party i am going to here on new years now has a few posters in my neighbourhood that are AWESOME and look pretty much like someone smeared muted neon blue, yellow, orange and pink on random walls. but if you look up close you will see that it says "party at the p1nes with hawkwind (just kiding) and some other bands" (the 'some other bands' part is actually a list of bands, but the hawkwind part is real, w/ typo! haha! i think it'll be pretty great.)

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

morbs is totally right...no sense in being chemically enhanced for already reality shattering film...its just rude

hmmm, last year i had a 3 day bender leading up to nye and found myself in a little champaigne spraying battle with the host of the party i was at (all in good fun, he started it)....think this year might be quieter...thinking just a few lovely people round the house...

― bb (bbia), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

champagne spraying battle sounds good tho

ohman, and s1ocki's party includes glass of CHAMPAGNE and bowl of CHILI! and oh the dancing, obv. torne

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

JW, dj nights are such a pain, just ask Phil Two! You have to guarantee a certain number of people, who will have a certain amount of visibly apparent fun and generate a certain amount of revenue for the bar...PLUS lugging the rekkids (tho I only own, like, ten records to begin with). And that's not including any technical no-how (I have none) or making the crowd happy/dancey with your musical choices (I am prob the only person here who can dance to soul for three hours straight...?). So I think that is not a good plan. If someone else spins, though, I will go!!

Might make a quiche later, to take for lunch for a few days. I am in cooking mode!! I didn't drink much last night so not dying with craving for cream sauces and fatty, savory things.

mmm thai foood

hangovers make me hungry but not really wanting to eat food and then when there is food it's suddenly the greatest thing ever.
things consumed today:
ibuprofen
water
tea (a lot, black, mint, cocoa spice)
blueberry pancakes (i managed to make them, somehow)
rice pasta with butter and parm cheese (i have never eaten this before. could not deal with other flavours. it was good!)

hello i want to say again i was delighted to talk to so many of you! this was, btw, the only phone call i attempted or was attempted to me that made it in before 3 am--i was getting circuits busy all night :(

i am not hungover at all today but we were being very old and sophisticated last night.

Wasn't hungover either. I hope starting the new year with 2 PBR's will not be emblamatic of things to come. I got breakfast to go from a Chintatown bakery to take on the bus with me, but I don't think I really like Chinese-style baked goods. Also brought back bagels and bialys from Kossars. What is that giant blue building that has spouted on the LES?

I used to have an NYU address, yes. I am not a noizer--I was just drawn here by NYE planning.

No bagels at all are better than bagels that don't taste right, which is all I seem to find. Which is the ok shop?
