A Raucous New Years
Happy 2007 everyone!
My, what a fun New Year's. The night started by watching the beginning of a meaningless Eagles game, as they had already clinched the division as a result of the pathetic Cowboys loss to the lowly Lions. The girls started getting ready around 5 while the guys enjoyed some Emperor of the Grand Cru. The group was ready to leave for dinner around 6:15. Dinner at Avalon was excellent. The served a four course meal comprised of five different appetizers to choose from, two salads, and four main courses, including Lamb Loin, NY Strip Steak, Alaskan Cod w/Lump Crab Meat, and Seared Tuna. Christina chose the Seared Tuna and was rewarded with the best meal of the night. Dessert included poached pear, white chocolate mousse, and a sliver of rich chocolate cake. Yum. Avalon is a BYO, so we brought four bottles of quality wine.
After dinner, the Dunns left us to catch the final course of the Perkins' New Years dinner. The rest of the crew came back to our place for a lot of dancing, karaoke, and limbo.
Christina won the limbo contest, furthering her legendary limbo-er status. She won the prize, as evidenced here:
Onto the Karaoke. Comcast offers Karaoke On-Demand and usually has a great selection. We were a little disappointed to not find some of our favorites, but any night you sing Life is a Highway is a good night.
We broke out of the DP Dough around 11:30 and enjoyed every bite. We then switched on Dick Clark's Rocking Eve. Dick, give it up. I admire your resiliency, but you're really hard to watch (not that Ryan Seacrest is much easier to stomach).
And so we rang in the New Year. We did, however, miss the ball dropping due to a television glitch. The channel switched to Comedy Central with about 10 seconds left. South Park was scheduled to record at midnight, but the channel shouldn't have switched. Anyway, we missed the big moment. They said over 1 million people were in the Times Square area last night. How miserable.
Much like this year's Christmas, New Years was the best New Years ever. Christina and I really haven't had that much fun in a long time. Thank you Hohorsts and Bhutas for such a wonderful evening.
Today will be spent watching Penn State get beat up by Tennessee, then perhaps a mid-afternoon movie.
