Friday morning and the ground is once again covered with white fluffy snow. I can deal with it today since my plan is to stay in all day.

A week ago today I was lying on the couch sort of hangover from New Years Eve. Webster Hall was awesome, although I have a few things I would like to complain about and most definitely will, I think we all had a great time.                   It started with dinner at home made by Christian, Thank you! Then getting ready while listening to music followed by getting on a very crowded train. We stood up the whole time and didn’t even have to show our tickets :) Finding a cab in the city went smoother than expected and we walked up to the doors of Webster Hall nice and early. No line just walked right in and got our first drink. After looking around for a while we found a meeting spot in case we should lose each other. Of course that happened at 11:30pm (good timing). After about 10 phone calls and a whole lot of running up and down the stairs listening to this one guy screaming, Left or Right, Left or Right, at the top of the stairs with a megaphone and rolling R’s, we finally found each other.

Squeezed our way upstairs and probably 2900 people out of the 3000 people that fit in the club were there. Well, we needed to be in the front and formed a line holding on to each other for dear life and started pushing our way through the massive amount of people. We got pretty far up and could there watch the dancers hanging from the ceiling and the performers on stage. Time Square was on TV in the background and as the countdown began people went crazy. 10000 balloons fell from the ceiling and you could not even see the person standing next to you.

We stayed until 3:00am or so, and then headed up to Penn Station to catch the train back home. After walking around Penn Station for a while on the New Jersey side we asked a policeman to point us in the right direction.
The smell of McDonalds made us all hungry and a hamburger has never tasted so good. We all got seats on the train, thank god, and fell fast asleep. Sleeping on a train is not something I would recommend, it usually leads to missing you stop which is exactly what we did. Found a cab to take us back to our train station where the car was parked, drove home, and fell asleep quicker that I ever have.

It was absolutely amazing and I would do it over again in a heartbeat.

Not the best sound but you get the picture.

Let the countdown begin.
