2008 is here , Lori and I spent the end of year / beginning of year celebration in NYC. We went down to madison square garden to watch the UFC viewing party with Matt Serra and Forrest Griffin. They did a little Q&A with the crowd then we watched the fights on concert style screen in the middle of the stadium. Both main fights Liddell vs. Silva and GSP vs. Hughes - both were great fights (esp since I was rooting for the eventual winners)
We spent the entire weekend in manhatten , walking , shopping , walking , eating , walking , sightseeing and walking ...on new years eve we added some drinking to our walking.
We didn`t go up by the insanity at times square but hung about 7 blocks back within crowds in the 100`s not multi-thousands. Didn`t see the ball drop but heard the noise as the countdown started and saw all the fireworks as our "local" crowd erupted with kazoos , and whirlygigs and hoots and hollers , Happy NEW YEAR ~!!!...and of course the obligatory new years kiss with my girl.
Last year there was a handful of us at my house , watching Dick Clarks new years on t.v - very freaking depressing .....woo hoo - the ball dropped . Yay . --- Didn`t want to do that again.
The raucus noise and excitement of NYC and the proximity to the LIVE show of times square ...that was all I needed to kick off the new year right.
Happy 2008
