One, One, OneOne...

Happy New Year! I know I'm a little late since today is already 1/11/11, but I'm here to talk about 1/1/11... ten days ago. Time sure does fly.



Last year, we had a wild NYC New Year's Eve, and while we were able to avoid Time Square and all the chaos that takes place there, it was still a raucous evening. Ending with me throwing up. Fun as that was (sarcasm font) we were thinking "low key" this year. We spent NYE close to home, had some friends over and then headed to a near by local bar for the big count down.

We had a sober driver, and were all back to our house around 12:30am, so I guess we acheived our low key goal. And we had fun. What more do you need? Us? Apparently we won't be satisfied until we see some more action. Which leads me to our New Year's Day...



Sean: "Daryl just texted me... Do you want to go see Glassjaw tonight at the Nokia Theatre?"

Me: "In Time Square?"

Sean: "Yes."

Me: "You want to go to Time Square on New Year's Day?"

Sean: "I thought for sure you'd want to go see Glassjaw."

Me: "I do. It's going to be crazy. We're going to get mad."

Sean: "I know."

Me: "Let's go."

So we did. Sometimes we're so ignorant. We drove right into the heart of it all too. Parked on 49th and literally battled the crowd of tourists through Time Square. It was CRAZY and I do not recommend it. But it was worth it! Glassjaw was fantastic! So loud, and the sound was amazing. The crowd was wild and the place was sold out! Here is our view of the show... *Photos taken by Ben Grippo but I was standing right next to him. We had a nice view from a VIP balcony which kept us safe from the wild crowd below.



After the show, we spent some quality time with friends, and around 2am decided it would probably be smart to head back to CT. The Time Square crowd had thinned, and we love to act like tourists, so here we are again, kissing in Time Square... And then another brilliant idea! Let's head home by way of Katz's Deli! We went to Katz's on New Year's Day last year, so now we'll try to make it a tradition. They're open until 2:45am and we made it just in time to eat this... Like I said, sometimes, we're so ignorant.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!
