so...what happened now?
i suppose i'll attempt to recall what happened on new year's. me, drew, travis, and grailing decided that our best bet would be to hit club vinyl for bad boy bill and mle. i spent all day trying to get onto the groovetickets web site to buy tickets. i finally got 'em around 4:30 pm, and bought 7 tickets to cover myself, travis, drew, grailing, kristin, josh, and monica (who never showed, so kristin owes me $40 for her ticket). i ended up staying at work until 5:30ish, and travis ran off to some lotus guy's house up in the mountains to return his racing helmet, then to some other lotus guy's house to show him how to bleed his brakes. so we ended up leaving around 9ish, after travis showed up and drew and i mixed some tasty beverages for the drive down. darren also decided to join us, and risked buying his ticket at the door (which wasn't all that risky, actually, since he got there around 9ish).

so we drove to vinyl, met kristin, josh, and darren, and proceeded to party our asses off. bad boy bill was pretty awesome, and mle was as great as always. cindy called early in the evening, but i couldn't hear her very well on my cell phone. it was good to hear from her, since she's up in alaska partying with the polar bears. they had a free champagne toast at midnight, with some cheap-ass champagne that travis somehow sprayed all over kristin and the wall behind her. go travis. travis also learned that the bartender named stephanie is into belly dancing, so he told her about the bi-weekly drum circle/belly dancing gathering at torin and ben's house in longmont. shortly before the clubs closed, we ran (yes, ran) over to the church to say hi to myndi, who should have been bartending at vinyl, but for some reason was assigned to the church for new year's.

after that, i called chris to find out where the after-party was -- somebody's apartment near the 16th street mall. we went over there, hung out for a bit until the cops showed up around 3:30ish, then went up to dj franklin's house in golden. his party was winding down, but we hung out in his basement while he spun some records. on the way over there, we stopped at the loaf n' jug in golden, where grailing picked up a pint of ben & jerry's, which he proceeded to devour once we got to franklin's. afterward, he asked that we please stop him the next time he tried to do that. franklin got a call around 4:30 from some girls who wanted him to go over to their place, prompting much lamentation on franklin's part that he was too drunk to drive anywhere. poor franklin.

i think i fell asleep on franklin's couch for a short while, then woke up when everyone decided to go home. the early hours of the morning were spent trying to calm my stomach down enough so that i could go to sleep. that goal was eventually reached, so i went to bed around 5:30 or 6 am, to wake up at 2 pm and watch the various tv marathons all day (buffy the vampire slayer first season marathon, world rally championship marathon, vh1 i love the 80's marathon, and the shield season one marathon).

whew.
