we're thinking about heading up to NYC, but if i was going to stay here, i'd probably end up at the rock & roll hotel:

…

whatever you do, stay away from those shitty big hotel parties … bars usually announce a lot of fun, smaller parties closer to the 31st … the reef has been a lot of fun in the past

Thanks. I forgot about that R&R show. That could be fun. Getting a cab home might not…

I like the Reef, but I tend to stay away from 18th St on the weekends because I hate the crowd, and so I can't imagine what it's like on NYE.

when i went to the reef on NYE in the past it was very chill, they made sure they didn't pack the house too full and the liquor was really flowing … you don't really have to deal with the crowds when you stay at one place from 10pm –> 3am

They usually have decent openers. Who is it this year?

One year, they had RJD2 and Prefuse 73.

Smackette's leaning towards coming back to SF for New Years, but let me work her a little bit. SxDx are also cancelling a bunch of shows due to illness so it might be the only area show while we're home - that might help (and the SF shows are sold out).

Cool…keep me posted! I'm definitely in. Will be going to the Rose Bowl too.

this looks pretty fun…

agreed, i'm debating about going up to NYC for something similar (rented out a warehouse, BYOB, good DJs, etc) or sticking around here

also in NYC

The Virgins are playing a late night new years show (i think like 2am?) with A.R.E. Weapons, at Mercury Lounge.
I vowed to stay in DC for new years, but that looks soooo tempting…

were you able to find anything about the legality of the party? warehouses are always sketchy places for shows like this - can be totally hit or miss as far as whether it is legit. they seem split on the buzz board.

dear lord . . . please don't tell me that the days of all the beautiful michaels and the club kid underlings are returning to the scene.

gold leaf warehouse parties = fun.
i'll be busy catering a house party or else that would have been an option…
