Is there one New Year's Eve that was especially nice for you?

[terrya]

I have one. New Years Eve, December 31, 2000. Midnight...the new Millenium was minutes away.

I was in Toronto that night. Doug, my boyfriend, and I were at a friend's place for a party. We were outside on the balcony of the friend's apartment...Doug and I and a few others. At midnight, Doug and I kissed. At the same time, fireworks went off in Ethan Phillips Plaza downtown. It was so absolutely...just right. I will always remember that night...that moment. I'm sort of misty eyed just thinking about it.

What about you?

2. 1978.

Had gotten married on December 30 and took the long drive to Atlanta and found out the Hyatt had lost our reservation, didn't even have the bridal suite they had told us we had booked, so we went down the street to the Hilton. Once there I discovered my friends (who I later paid back) had taken all of my underwear and the condoms (fortunately my mother went back to clean up at the church and found them on the floor of the nursery). So we were too tired to do anything anyway and just went to sleep. So on 12/31/78 we finally got to have sex as a married couple.

4. New Year's Eve 2002.

It was our first together, and we did all the cheesy, romantic stuff: champagne, candles, soft music, scented bath salts, etc. . It was.... phenomenal.

:D

5. NYE 1991 is a wonderful memory for me.

A friend of mine was terminally ill, but felt well enough to go out that night. A bunch of us went to a club and although my friend didn't feel up to dancing, he was happy just to be there. At one point a fight broke out and I was worried because he was in a pretty frail state. I asked him if he wanted to leave and he turned to me and said, "No. This might be the last New Year's Eve I ever see and I'm staying." He died in December of the following year, shortly before Christmas. I'm so happy I was able to spend his last New Year's Eve with him.

7. since I don't remember much of it

1998-1999 my friend Mike and I woke up just outside Montreal (a 5 hour drive) and the signs were in French, which confused the hell out of us since we had no real recolection as to how we'd gotten there. So we went into Montreal and hung out with my friend the crooked fingered criminal (he's an underground DJ) and spent the first day of the new year in lovely Quebec eating Poutine.

8. '90 or '91?

my first wife and i and a couple of other couples took rooms in the julian hotel B&B in the southern california mountains. small town touristy scene, but truly lovely. snow on the ground, antique furnishings, resident cats, very decent restaurants for dining. and of course we had all brought along some special treats and a bottle of champagne for toasting the new year, and we brought our game of trivial pursuit. we ended up with the whole hotel divvied up into teams playing trivial pursuit and sharing our wine and cheeses and smoked salmon and other delicacies and toasting the new year in from the east coast to the west. it was a blast.

thanks for asking.

I don't have a gig, and I'm spending it with someone who I will be with for the rest of my life. Can't beat that.

10. Yeah! New Year's Weekend 1981. I was divorced and had no

interest in a serious relationship at all. An old friend and I decided that weekend to make plans to get to gether in a few weeks to just have some fun.

We got married 15 months later. Still married, 22 years. have a daughter and have had a total of 19 cats. (some were kittens we adopted out, a couple of them actually abandoned US, strange story) and right now there are four.
