I believed the hype and took my wife and son to the last Nutcracker perfomance of the 20th century at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Then drove over to my brothers house in the Noe Valley and partied till 2am. No problems no Y2K disasters. What a dud. Oh well maybe with this cloning stuff my brain may be around a the next Millennium bash.

avoided all the new york craziness by staying home, lighting a cadle, and having great sex. i'll never forget what i was doing the moment the clock turned to 2000...

Actually, I ended up hosting a Millennium Lounge Party with proceeds going to a local non-profit arts group. We had a live lounge band and spent hours getting our venue to look like a 60's Vegas night club, we even had the daughter of a friend of mine dressed up as a "Millennium Bug" and sold pictures of her with people. Apparently we were the only group doing anything since our event made headlines in all the papers. It was sold out and made a good deal of cash for our charity.

My husband went to a party. My daughter and I watched the disney channel and were in bed by 9:30. This surely wins the prize for most forgetable way to spend New Years.

My husband, son and I went to a beach party with a bonfire and fireworks. And then all the kids ran into the ocean at midnite. It was a perfect evening!

My husband and I spent the evening at our church with about 40 others, playing board games, eating, chatting. The older kids were entertaining the younger kids. At midnight we were in the sanctuary having communion. Latest we've stayed up in years on New Year's Eve!

Nothing, yet, since it won't happen for another 3 and a half months.

Ran a 5k race through downtown Honolulu. The race was broadcast live on Japanese television and quite a few screaming Japanese teenagers showed up for some young Japanese heart throb who was running the race. Only a few hundred people participated. The downtown area was sandwiched between the huge display of fireworks and the beach and clouds of billowing smoke rolling off the residential areas due to firecrackers. (Illegal fireworks are a HUGE thing here.) The race was brightly lit, the booms off fireworks echoed off buildings. Combined with the smoke and teeny-boppers it was all quite unreal. One of my best new years!

Son still sick. Husband fell asleep. I took my bag of fireworks out to the cul-de-sac in front of my house and set 'em off, all by myself. Somewhere in the smallish college town where I live, someone else set off firecrackers. Within 30 seconds all was again silent.

Since both my husband and I had to work New Year's Day we expected to just have a quiet dinner at home with a good bottle of champagne. Wrong!! Went to an impromptu party across the street at a neighbor's house with 6 other couples from the block and had the best time ever. Seriously hurting the next day at work

We had a few friends in ate a lot drank a little and enjoyed that "cozy" feeling one doesn't start to appreciate until your mid 30s. At midnight watched small town fireworks from the front porch while teenage daughter and friends challenged the town curfew for under 18 and hopped around the neighborhood for an hour setting off a large stash of bottle rockets. Pure Bliss!!!

I've been trying for 10 minutes now, but I cannot for the life of me remember.

Must have been a great time . . .

My husband is one of those poor slobs whose company made him sit there and watch the clock turn over, so he was at work. It was very impressive (until nothing happened)-- they had a "Command Center" complete with red telephones! I stayed home, and was on my way to bed until he talked me into staying up until midnight. So I watched reruns of other areas' big visual events, waited for 12, listened to a few firecrackers and whoops, and THEN went to bed. Yup, I'll always remember that...

I work at a fine dining restaurant,I couldn't have had the night off without quitting my job, as we were booked solid for the night.And so, at the stroke of midnite, I was taking pics for a couple as he presented her w/ a diamond ring and asked her to marry him(she said yes), while the rest of the staff was taking a quick break to drink a glass of champagne....

We went to a small party with several other couples we've known since our kids were little (now they're grown). It is always nice to see in the new year with old friends.

My sister was visiting from out-of-town, and my husband and I had plans to take us all out to dinner at a nice restaurant. Well, my sister ended up sick (vomiting, etc.) and we spent the evening in urgent care from about 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Of course my sister didn't end up having any dinner as it was going into her via an intravenous line. My husband and I got a pizza and poppers from Domino's delivered to us at the urgent care and ate it while watching the festivities on TV. Yum-yum. Ended up getting home soon after with sis; she went to bed and my husband and I watched the ball drop at midnight on TV. Not quite what we had planned, but it could have been a lot worse. The doctor said she either had food poisoning or acute gastroenteritis.
Definitely a New Year's Eve to remember.

Philly had dozens of free events on New Years Eve 99/00, so we spent our time going from one to the next. At midnight Philly time we were on the Delaware River watching the fireworks.

Alooohaaa...Swimmin' nekked with the wife in the Pacific Ocean on Kauai after a great garlic steak at the Bullshed, coupla bottles of champagne at the pool bar and some good fireworks and a Prince Phillip Macanudo!

Does it get any better than this?

Yeah...in 134 more days we'll try and top it. Good thing there are 2 millennium celebrations. One for us and the other for the "smarty-pantsers". Mahalo, Kal \;^)

I was one of those situated on the banks of the Thames River in London. Couldn't move from my coveted viewing point for 3 hours as their were sooo many people (let alone get to a toilet). Crazy, but awesome atomosphere.

For Lisa, Robin's husband, and everyone else who was working that night -- here's to those who work on Christmas or Hanukkah, New Year's Eve, the 4th of July, their birthday, their anniversary, the Night Shift (11pm-7am), etc.! I'm thinking of nurses and other hospital workers, airline and other transit workers, waitstaff and cooks and other restaurant workers, police, toll-booth people, train and other transit workers, newspaper and broadcast workers, and anyone is free to add to this list. Thanks!
