New Years Eve

[gwilks98]

Okay so last year, mother asked me to stay home from the millenium eve parties so as to stay away from all the fanactics, idiots, and drunk drivers. I missed 3 friggin parties. I was SO pissed at her that I wouldn't talk to her for a while. So she tells me that "next" year I can do whatever I want. BIG MISTAKE.

Granted I have to stay in St. Louis, what do you people recommend for a good time on New Years? (Keep in mind I'm not 21 yet, so commercially run parties are out of the question)

I want to spend this New Year's Eve with someone special at U.S. but instead I have to spend it on the airplane, from Japan to Taiwan. So don't complain!

For the past 3,4 years, I went to my ex-girlfriend's place and spent the New Year's Eve with her family. (My family is at Taiwan).

Sorry, not so much a suggestion.

I ask for the time and get told how to build a friggin watch...


hahaha, thanks anyway dodo. I know you meant well. Anyone else???

Visited St. Louis for the first time earlier this year. From what I saw, if you're under twenty one your best bet is probably staying at home and eating your feet.

Sorry, bud. Last year I was in New York in a house party about two blocks from Times Square. While we smoked out and my friends divied out the shrooms and E, cops trying to clear the roof threw guns in our faces and shouted angrily. Fortunately they didn't shoot, must have been about 20 and, being responsible for handling Time Square on New Year's Eve 2000, looked like they were more scared than we were. They never saw the bowl sitting on the ledge, thank God. Later, firemen came up to the apartment because (1) they were concerned that people hanging out the windows might fall out 3 stories to the pavement, and (2) they wanted to check out the action. "IT WAS THE BEST NIGHT <URP!> IN MY LIFE!!! <URP!>.

And I've got the pictures to prove it!!! (no cops, though. Didn't seem prudent at the time)

Sorry to rub it in, but the thread took me back...

[gwilks98]

hahah, what is it with you people. Would anyone here like to give GOOD advice?

good story though. Maybe I should take a trip to NY some year. (not this one though-I'm a commission salesman in retail. I need the $$ this Xmas season)

How under 21 are you?
I have friends who DJ on the landing.
Also, what happened to that club up by Granite City on the east side?


please ignore and move on

Heheh, I was in Times Square last year, and I'll be back in NYC for this New Year's Eve, spinning at some hole-in-the-wall club down in Tribeca. Should be fun. Anyone who's in NY, look for Ice-9 on club flyers!

As for stuff to do if you're under 21, why don't you just get a big group of friends together and go on a rampage? I used to do that when I lived in the suburbs of Baltimore - we'd all get tanked (except the driver) and drive around making tons of noise and seeing how many other people we could round up, then go back to someone's house and party until we all passed out. Probably the most fun I've had in Catonsville, the town that time forgot. We managed to collect about 20 people that I didn't know last time. Good way to meet random people, too.

Hey Ice-9, did you get that name from a kurt vonnegut book?

[Ice-9]

Yep.

[zenbooty]

Great book, too.

U Mean Oz? Last I heard it was still around... I go to liquid or voodoo myslef, cause Im not 21...

GW98 I know of some parties, but I will be on a plane coming back from Hawaii, yea aint that a bitch.

Crabbie, on New Year's, I will be about 8 months 10 days shy of 21.

I'm not much for the clubbing type unless I'm pretty tanked. What happens on New Years at clubs, just a big old drunken bash?

After spending 15 or 16 New Years in Times Square we finally called it quits and just in time. I spent the New year drinking Hard Cider in front of a blazing TV screen watching for my kids (who were in the Square in my place)..to see if they were freezing their asses off.(They were warned!)..Worst thing that happened to the oldest was someone puked in the hood of his jacket. They spent the Pre-Millenium hours at THE LIONS den in Manhattan-I hear this was 'THE PLACE TO BE" ...*shrugs*-I think I'd rather be warm than do Times Square again.

Yeah.. I think that was it. There has been a couple as the years has passed... you have to remember it has been *cringe* 6 years since I have had to worry about that kinda stuff. And even when I was 19, I was DJing with Top Cats so I could get into the places and have fun.

Normally, on New Years, since it is all crazy, I have friends over in a controlled environment to have fun... that means no driving crazy with the crazies

[Hopper1]

Yeah well i spent last new years eve in seattle when they cancelled everything. We went to my friends apt and got wasted then ended up at his neighbors apt playing board games drunk....how fun....
