To Start the New Year

New Years Eve

I had a great new years.

I had very little idea what I would be doing on New Years this year. There were a number of possibilities, parties, bars, clubs etc. I met Sabrina and she was already going to the Chapel Bar in capitol hill, and that sounded like a good idea. It is a little pricey, but its nice, there is almost always seating, and it added a little class to my celebration. We did a little prefunking at my place, and of course I bought way too much to eat and drink but that was okay.

Chapel was fun. There were no shortage of friends, friends of friends, and interesting strangers to be with. I had a fabulous shot of tequila and I think for the first time had champagne at midnight. 6$ a glass, not a bottle ;)

I was the central person to a number of friends that I was attempting to hang out with on new years. I ended up trying, and generally failing at coordinating everyone. It is not something that I should even have attempted that late in the game, but it worked out okay.

We finished at chapel and we walked up the hill looking for a place to go dancing. RPlace had a line of maybe 20 people and a significant wait to get in (a very cold wait) so we moved on to neighbors. Plenty of dancing, a bit more drinking and a lot of fun.

Sabrina forgot her coat at chapel so that was the last stop out for the evening. She found it without incident and we met some very funny guys hanging out in front of chapel. There was discussion about meeting people on craigslist with a guy demonstrating on his web enabled phone how forthcoming people can be on the personals page with their pictures!

Next stop, sleep! I started new years day with a tasty breakfast at B&O with Sabrina, and eventually Adam, and enjoyable discussion about relationships and video games. Who could ask for anything more?
