New Years Eve- Going out? Staying in?

[NJTomatoguy]

What's the plan this year?

I don't ever go out on New Years. Too many goofy people on the ride home.
Nice steak, mild brown ale, couple dvd's .

 

[eschatz]

I've got two parties to attend. That means I pull three growlers for each party off the keg of Apfelwein. 6 Growlers of Apfelwein! If I go blind I'll have SWMBO type for me tomorrow. :rockin:

 

[shecky]

In at my MIL's in Jersey. In bed by 11 p.m. Got an 8 a.m. flight tomorrow. I wouldn't have gone out anyway. Too many crazies for my tastes.

 

[Brewin_Bob]

Staying in. First New Years in new house.

 

[Bobby_M]

Staying in. We're lame, no party invites for tonight. Plus we have young kids.

 

[eschatz]

I can believe I'm the only one going out! I'm gonna have to party for all of you married, kid having, responsible type peoples! The liver donor list isn't that long is it?

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Put the boy to bed around 8:00. And modding the grain mill by 9:00.

 

[Laurel]

Staying in. After work we'll go get some pho and then head home, watch a few episodes of x-files, have a few homebrews and be asleep by 9.

 

[Borisbbadd]

Staying in, a couple movies, some snacks, and a few beers..............thats about it.

 

[Anderz]

Got a babysitter for tonight. Going out to par-tay

 

[Fingers]

Staying in. I have two kids going out tonight so I have to make sure they survive. One is 18 and very responsible so I think he'll be okay. The other is 16 and is going to her friend's place down the road. Parents are home but I want to make sure she behaves. She has to check in with me at 12:30 for a 'sobriety check'. The youngest(15) and I will spend an evening together.

Gonna watch the Canada - US World Junior game at 6:00 Central time. It should be a good match.

 

[Dude]

Staying in. Just another day, IMHO. I'm too old for the nonsense, and F the DUI roadblocks that will be everywhere.

Dinner reservations at 7 (sushi) then champagne at home.

Can't fault the Navy guy for wanting to stay home!

 

[flyangler18]

Going out! I'm performing at First Night in Alexandria until 11, then who knows!

 

[BierMuncher]

We're having the best kind of party. Just the usual drunken neighbors right across the street.

I packed up a 12-r of HB, a bomber of Sierra Nevada Fresh Harvest, a Bomber of Commercial Scottish Ale, a bomber of Samuel Smiths Nut Brown and some assorted 12 ouncers of various commercials...

And if I run out...I just walk home and refill.

 

[Ryan]

I am going to a friends house. I have a case of various hb's and a bottle of knob creek that I am taking with me. He has this party every year and is always a great time.:rockin:

Best part is SWMBO doesn't feel great and isn't planning on drinking. Have to love knowing you don't have to call a cab at the end of the night.

 

[NJTomatoguy]

I just found a Cusano Paired Maduro in the botton of my humidor- Hot Damn! I have not bought one of these in at least a year!!!!

So now it's Steak. Mild Brown. And a GOOD cigar.

Those are the best nights. Wish I had cool neighbors.

Heading to a buddy's party not too far from home. Supposedly a mellow get together, but I know better than to believe that!

 

[mstev50]

Sittin' at home with SWMBO. Apfelwein is chillin' on the deck.

I spent 2 weeks in your area with 3 cases of my best HB and you never answered my PMs

 

[Professor Frink]

Visiting the SWMBO in San Diego, we're going to go out to dinner, then just hanging out at home after, nice and relaxing.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

Working till 11pm then going out for a bit

Was it this summer? I was kinda out of the loop.

It's 9:30 and my wife is already in bed. The youngest is munching popcorn and watching television. He'll probably be tucked in my 10:30-11:00. The oldest is out with friends and won't be home before midnight. I'll stay up to make sure she comes home alive.

We did toast the Leap Second added to the clock this year. At 6:59:59 ET (12:59:59 UT) (and, yes, we have a clock that syncs to the atomic clock in Boulder) we all toasted at the dinner table and leaped in our seats so we landed one second into the future. Thus the geekery is passed on.

[Laurel]

well... I got home from work and HWMBO was asleep. Poor guy is sick. I guess we're not having pho or watching x-files. I have a headache so I'll probably sit on HBT for a while and then go to sleep myself. Awesome.

 

[gplutt]

Bought a bunch of good commercial stuff, going to eat some pasta, drink a few good beers and watch some Battlestar Galactica. Whooo

Guy at Pike Street Beer and Wine threw the glass in for free!

 

[Revvy]

I just got home....I walked Brewstir through his first AG while brewing a batch of Centennial Blond for myself... It was a great day with him and his son, brewing. smoking cigars and sampling each other's homebrew...It was nice and toasty in his gargae with a double boil going...but once we started chilling the garage lost heat rapidly....buckets of sanitizer started forming ice crystals...

I'm tired, I'm sore (my back felt an 8 hour day on a concrete slab) and I'm chilled to the bone...So I am home, and waaay too tired to go out. I wonder if I'll even make it til the fireworks @ midnight.

But I have a choice supply of beers Chriso sent me, including an oak aged IPA and a bottle of DOuble Dead Guy.

Brewing with a buddy on the last day of the year...(Outside of having a lady to kiss at midnight) what could be better.

 

[knightshift]

I'm at work...no beer for me...
