Dear You,
Help! Save your generation! Or at least save me.... What should I do for New Year's?
I've been obsessed about it lately. I want to do something big this year. Last two years I've spent the critical hour at house parties in Columbia Heights and Mount Pleasant. Here's a song summing up what happened at the last one--
--Ok, moving on....
Before that a show at Wonderland. And here's a photo snapshot of that night.

Year before that, a dance party on H Street NE --yes, pause for photo--
And before that, spent over a campfire in McLean (don't ask). Prior to that, I don't remember. So, I've stayed über local, but low key and not crazy. I believe I was in bed at pretty much normal partying hour each time. And nary a hangover.
Don't get me wrong, I love staying close to home and doing it small time. It's cheaper, and I generally want to remember what I did and savior the memories outside of un-facebookable party photos. And I am a little accident prone.
I've never traveled outside of my home city to celebrate New Year's. Never. But something about this year makes me want to break out of the routine and do something different. If I do stay in DC, which for different reasons is looking more and more likely, I need to decide what to do. Staying home with a glass of wine and the TV is probably the only option I'm ruling out.
What are the epic yearly parties? Any clubs or bars actually throw a great party? (I've heard Peaches O'Dell at the Black Cat is worth it) And ANY chance there is something cool happening right here in good ole' Mount Pleasant? Hmmm, I guess I could make something happen here... but I digress. Back to other O.P.P. (other people's parties).
So... keep on the look out. And pass the good ones my way please. I have a feeling it'll be a last minute decision, but I want to have all the options, good and bad, at my feet.
Thx a million in advance,
Me
ps, i tell you this because as an artist, i think you'll understand

go to Memphis! there is a fantastic party on Beale street every year
Black Cat is good.
How about the Kennedy Center?
The best New Years I ever had was in Rome. Sounds like it's not in the cards for you this year, but just thought I'd throw it out there.
rome....! i wish! if i ever go to europe for nye, rome will be first.
memphis. just met a nice guy paul from there. he talked it up like it was a great town, i will ask him about nye.
and black cat. looks like i'm staying local again and a couple of other people have said peaches odell made for a good show.
I imagine it'll be scoffed at, but Brightest Young Things seems to be hyping their New Years bash pretty hard.
I think there'll be something going on in ole River City, I just don't know what it is yet. Real enticing, I know.
i went to the byt party three years ago... with a bunch of richmond people. we had a blast.
