Nothing too crazy at mine.. I watched a pitbull try to eat fireworks and my brother almost got seduced by an old lady. The party was pretty awesome though, no knives were pulled out.
 
Went to Rocket to Venus for dinner with my lady. It's a hipster hotspot in Baltimore.

When I asked the waitress for a table she looked at me like I'd asked her for a kidney donation, then looked around the restaurant like a sloth on sleeping pills for a minute before saying 'uh, we have a lot of reservations coming in.'

The restaurant was 3/4 empty.

Then she went back to reading her newspaper for a couple minutes while we stood there wondering how you explain to someone who doesn't realize what they're doing that they're ignoring you.

She finally gave us a seat and dinner was totally forgettable and the desert gave me a stomach ache.

When we left the restaurant was still 3/4 empty. So much for those reservations.

The rest of the night was pretty uneventful/normal.
 
We were in downtown Denver, a dude was driving the wrong way on a 1 way street, obviously in rough shape - a huge group of people got into the middle of the road to stop his car. When he got out people mobbed him and held him until cops got there. I have no clue where the cops even came from. When they did, this insanely drunk guy kept shouting 'We're keeping drunken assholes off your city streets' - Then he got arrested for harassing the cops after they asked him to step back 15 times.

Was interesting.
 
I sat on teh sofa watching TV with teh mrs. Went bed at 00:05
 
I worked all night... just like I get to tonight (but then I get 4 days off, so it's cool). I celebrated with 5 other dudes on a Navy base with sparkling grape and apple non-alcoholic fake champagne and a countdown that was lame at best.

At least I didn't have to brief anyone in the morning.
 
man I fail, sorry for asking. was hoping to hear some good stories :D

The thing about New Years Eve is, the *good* stories are the ones nobody can remember.

They just wake up wondering-

Where the Fuck am I? How much *DID* I drink? Why does my butt hurt? Wheres my wallet? Why am I sticky? Who are these chicks?

Those are the good ones.

Started drinking beer with some friends and wife at our house, messing with Wii Resort. Ended up going to play poker. After first game we sat around drinking goon (Aussie thing), eating pizza (Pizza Capers, Yumm) and chatting. At 11pm I decided to finally put to bed my 2 year old daughter. I fell asleep putting her asleep by accident as I was too drunk. Woke up at 12:20, missed new years, found my friends playing Wii and they didn't know it was past midnight either as both were too drunk. Sat around playing Wii until 2am until we gave out and fell asleep again.

a good night.

Sounds like my night. Worked at my office from 00:00 New Years Day to 14:30. Logged into EQ at 00:05 and played until 14:25. I went home and celebrated with my wife.
 
Well, started it off with 2 Joose's (9.9% Alc) while me and the GF got ready to go eat at Olive Garden, Had dinner, Drank a Four Loco (12.0% Alc) on the way to the bar, had about 8 pitchers of Blue Moon and like 6 shots of Vodka and a couple shots of Black Velvet. Played some pool at the bar, danced, sang karaoke and all that good stuff. Was stumbling ass drunk by the time we left the bar at last call, my 2 buddies had to carry me inside. Was a pretty good night
 
well my new years was the best one i have had yet. I am only 22 though but its going to be hard to top it anyways.

I went to vegas and stayed at the MGM signiture. there was 8 of us from my platoon and a friend from basic who brought some girls so 10 of us total. I ended up going around town with one of the girls my friend brought who was a complete hottie. Every taxie limo or cadilac i got in with her turned into a adult film. She was one of the crazyiest in bed i have been with. We spent the countdown ontop of the palms in the ghost club which was really cool. I ended up winning more moeny then i brought on the bj tables and just had a killer time every night only getting 2 hours of sleep a day. layed around every day in a a robe naked because i did not have anything else to sleep in. :)

My friend hooked up with a chick in the bathroom of a casino to. I think everyone hooked up with someone during this trip and they were not hookers lol
 
Vegas Baby

I did Vegas, too, but took my lady instead of a chick du jour like our Army friend. We went to a party at the new Haze Nightclub in the Aria and then hit Club XS at the Encore after midnight. Haze is sweet but the Aria overall is not as nice as the Wynn in my opinion. Was $300 a piece just to get in and then, of course, there was another VIP area for $2,500 a piece where they served you all the top shelf crap. Just like Vegas to gank you for big bucks and then make you feel like a loser because you have no bottle service.

There were around 130,000 people on Las Vegas Blvd at midnight when they did fireworks from on top of 7 casinos along the Strip. The Vegas police made all retailers within a 5 block radius of the Strip stop selling bottled liquor or cans at 5pm on New Year's Even until 5am the next day. Didn't matter though - looked like a garbage dump the next morning either way.

I bought my lady some new ridiculously expensive shoes she had to have for the night and by 10pm she was in so much pain we were basically stationary in the clubs. Spendy night overall but fun I guess. Saw some celebs and such but hard to keep up with some of the dough folks were throwing around. And by the way, Dom Perignon champagne is not $100 better than Andres. Period. I don't care how cool you feel ordering it, you are still a tool if you chug it and spill half the bottle on your tux.
 
That shoe situation has happened to me before. She buys a pair or I buy her a pair, she wears them the next day and I have to listen to her shriek and whine until we get home and she can finally take them off, by which point her feet are so messed up that I get to listen to more pissing and moaning for the rest of the week.

I don't know if im part jewish or what, but your story makes me sad. I wouldn't pay $300 to get into heaven. If my wife wants an expensive pair of shoes she can steal them.

Your night sounds like pure hell to me.
 
What I learned: go to some other city besides vegas and enjoy yourself by going balls wild spending money.
 
You'd like the VIP tables then

You would have liked the VIP area then fo shizzle. 12 people could enjoy Cristal and Dom all you can drink for a mere $20,000 for the table (represents a discount since at $2,500 a piece it would have been $30k). Who says bargains can't be found in Vegas? ;)

In truth the night around all the one uppers was more humbling than fun. My guess is the folks on the Strip drinking Lucky Lager out of a thermos were having more fun.
