New Years Eve

This New Years was more exciting than last years...and that's saying a lot - sorry Mom, Dick Clark, and our living room…

I went out with Will, Theo, Ashley, Shuffle, and her girlfriend Mhamha.  We started at our place and had a few drinks before heading to Eyethu.  Now Eyethu was a madhouse!  It seemed everyone was going there.  We went pretty early in the hopes of beating the queue for the bar, but failed at that.  After waiting around for 20 minutes and still being at least 50 feet from the bar, Will, Theo, and I decided to bounce.  We went into central where we found a bar with lounge chairs outside open, and a bartender ready to serve.  It was much more at my speed. 

We met some guys who loved Will.  They were busy dancing (and good at it) so Will was admiring them and they tried teaching - turns out this was not to be.  They were funny though.  We just chilled for a while before leaving about 40 minutes to midnight.  I guess it's pretty common around the townships that people leave whatever they are doing and go home to spend midnight with their families in their homes.  This is nice, but maybe unrealistic elsewhere when everyone is drinking and usually have to drive.  Will and I don't have our families here so we went to Theo and Ashley's house and met their parents and had champagne at midnight while kids in the neighborhood lit off fireworks.  It was really nice.  It's so warm here that we just sat outside for a good 15 minutes and watched the sky.  It was a nice New Years.  

 When we were done we headed back out to Captains in Summerstrand and finished off the night there.
