Well, my friend Lori and I decide to have a very different New Years Eve in New York City! We were both were looking for something a little different than the usual New Years. We reserved tickets to a party at a club on Canal Street called The Canal Room. Because we reserved the tickets so late, we had to pick them up at an office in Manhattan before hand. This was a pretty asinine setup, really. Instead of just showing our ID at the door or having printed tickets via internet, I had to go in early and stand in a large line for about two hours. Lori had to work, so I got the tickets and met up with her later. At least it wasn't too cold.
Later on, I met Lori at the TGI Friday's in Penn and had some dinner, then we headed to the club
. We had an awesome evening. At first at the club, it was a bunch of newly-baptised NYC financial analysts all talking about what they did for a living. I guess in New York City (and the metropolitan area, really) the question to ask when you first meet someone is: "What do you do?" I've heard in other cities in other countries, that very question can be different. After awhile of talking to people and asking "What do you do?" it gets very tiring. But we had fun. I especially enjoyed our Chambord Champagne. Lots of dancing after all that stupid job small talk. We had fun meeting all sorts of characters.
