 whatever you do, stay away from those shitty big hotel parties ... bars usually announce a lot of fun, smaller parties closer to the 31st ... the reef has been a lot of fun in the past [/b]

Thanks. I forgot about that R&R show. That could be fun. Getting a cab home might not...
 
 I like the Reef, but I tend to stay away from 18th St on the weekends because I hate the crowd, and so I can't imagine what it's like on NYE.

when i went to the reef on NYE in the past it was very chill, they made sure they didn't pack the house too full and the liquor was really flowing ... you don't really have to deal with the crowds when you stay at one place from 10pm --> 3am

They usually have decent openers. Who is it this year?
 
 One year, they had RJD2 and Prefuse 73.

Smackette's leaning towards coming back to SF for New Years, but let me work her a little bit.  SxDx are also cancelling a bunch of shows due to illness so it might be the only area show while we're home - that might help (and the SF shows are sold out).

Cool...keep me posted! I'm definitely in. Will be going to the Rose Bowl too.

agreed, i'm debating about going up to NYC for something similar (rented out a warehouse, BYOB, good DJs, etc) or sticking around here

[you be betty]

also in NYC
 
 The Virgins are playing a late night new years show (i think like 2am?) with A.R.E. Weapons, at Mercury Lounge.
 I vowed to stay in DC for new years, but that looks soooo tempting...
