Any ideas, or what do you do? I see from SoWal.com on the events page that Baytowne Wharf is having a 1st night celebration with fireworks. What else's up?

MERMAID!

Here's what we do every year:

1. Start at Grayton Sunset for a pre-party
2. Go to the Red Bar around 10
3. Get confetti, hats and blowers
4. Dance with T-Bag
5. Get bottles of champagne
6. Spray champagne all over everyone...then cover them with confetti while they are wet
7. Climb in the car (With Parrotheat 74 driving) go to 331
8. The rest of the night is a blur

Then you wait for the next one...

For Mr. Kitty and I, the last three years have gone like this....

1) eat a good meal out and drink champagne

2) talk about how lucky we are to be in SoWal for New Year's

3) call sara82 and MS to find out what they are doing in Dallas

4) fall asleep watching Rockin' NYE on TV after celebrating NYE on ET

5) wait for MS phone call to say he's home

6) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Yes, you definitely are funn! I enjoy a quiet evening at home. I guess it is due to hosting way too many Black Tie New Year's affairs.

Yes, I am listening to them bark over my shoulder. I may watch some of the last quarter, the part when the game really counts.

Okay, I just turned around on the punt block. Look, Ma, I am typing without looking!

I may have to pop one of Mr. O'Rear's beers. Mr O'Rear owns the Coors distributership in Athens. (I hate running out of $10/btl red wine and Guinness.)

The BEST NEW YEAR'S MEMORIES ARE MADE ON 30-A!!!
Just being there is enough for us, however we have been so blessed every New Year's since 2001 to spend it on 30-A!! We've done dinners at Cafe Tango, followed by partying with friends in homes, condos, whatever, to ring in the New Year....(We used to do predictions, based on certain questions, for 5 years + into the future and put them in sealed envelopes...that was fun for awhile...we don't do it anymore but will be bringing out the predictions we made 5 years ago which should be very interesting!!) however, our favs have been having everyone in for fun dinner (have done everything from fancy appetizers to barbecue), watching football, playing music, listening to the ocean from the decks, catching a few fireworks on the beach, and including all ages...from 7 mos to 75 years! TRULY MAGIC!!! We started doing that so that the young mom & dads could have New Year's out & kids could stay with us.....heck, they wouldn't even leave....didn't want to miss the party!!! Plus it's been so neat to include wonderful folks who normally don't do the New Year's thing!! This year we will be mixing it up again...drinks at friends....restaurant dinner...relaxing with friends. We like to keep changing things up a little each year....there's no place we'd rather be!!! 😀 😀

I can't even describe New Year's Eve! I get confetti stuck in every single nook and cranny. I found some in my shoes this year from the year before. This year I'm going to be in that picture! Are we going to have lighted ice cubes again this year? I think we need to go bigger and better!

Dammit- the first year I actually know where a WILD NYE party is located! I could probably find that Funn house if I 😀 was stinkin' blind! So if the money and childcare fairy appears, we will be crashing the Funn house!

Kimmifunn you and the A-team win hands down for the baddddest New Year's ever! :clap_1:

We are doing the great debate about New Year's. I want to be in SoWal (just following the sound effects from the A-team would be great...I think they'll be blasting the stars out of the sky that night!) BUT and this is the big BUT, the kids will be back in Indianapolis. And they're 17 and 18 years old. Say no more. 😀 Dilemma dilemma.

The Red Bar sounds so enticing. Almost irrisistable...Dilemma dilemma.... :bang:

I'll be partying in "The Grove" - same as I have been doing for the last 4 years.

Sure is nice when the par-tay is right behind my house - oh, can we dance some more?

And Whitey has confetti around for months after the Funns wild night out - thank goodness for parrothead74 to keep them safe - I think parrothead needs a really nice tip$$$
