"Dress to tha nines" for NYE

[j_rud]

And, I should add that I still have no idea what to wear...  :-?

i'm opting for jeans and heels---NYE is a sh*t show enough. (JJ if you're reading this and want to send a car service for me, then i'll definitely put on my best ball gown, otherwise..nada)

all these tall girls!! i'm 5'5" ..plus a couple inches for heels...let us shorties in front!

It's okay...you can still rock the 2009 glasses!  With this recent cold snap in Oregon I realize that I am a wuss.  So it is looking more and more likely that I will be going for a festive-rock-n-roll approach to my attire.  But I sure as hell will be rocking some sparkly 2009 glasses!  And a sparkly shirt!  And a fabulous and amazingly warm fake fur that is oh so Dynasty-esque...I love it!  But probably pants...not a ball gown.  Sorry boys...it gets messy and crazy down in the dancing zone   ;)

I'm reconsidering the outfit as well.  :-/  

Cowards! Cowards all!!!

So you are going to wear a dress?  Awesome  :D

Nah lol, but I'll be in a tux. Black and with purple vest/tie and a derby hat. Im trying to think of an absurd accessory but no luck just yet. I might fashion the beard into mutton chops but I dont know if I want to sacrifice it for one night...

a tux is a bit uncomfortable at best, the whole dress and heels thing is a nightmare. i don't expect a guy to understand. if it was a dinner party, it's one thing but an 8 hour night of boozing, standing on your feet dancing, slapping high fives to fellow forum members, spilling beer on yourself, possibly vomiting, yelling happy new year at midnight and crying every time you think JJ looks at you, these are NOT easily done in a ball gown. just sayin...

Now everyone seems to be coming back to REALITY.

We are attending a ROCK SHOW!  Not a New Years party at a Country Club

The concept is unique and sounds like fun, but drinking, smoking and dancing in a 2'x2' area while the temperature in the Garden rises to 85 degrees only sounds like fun in a t-shirt, jeans and sneaks.

That's what I'm sportin. :)

I'm a shorty too..5'4...i must concurr...let the shorties in the front row...i'm not wearing heels...it will impeed my ability to rock out for such a long time...flats all the way...still cant decide what to wear...floor seats arn't made for black tie...

Y'all can definitely stand in front of me...I get a cramp in my neck if I have to look up to see the stage, so I won't be riding the rail.  :)  Midway back will be perfect.  I wonder if they waitresses will work the GA section?

And, I think I'll be wimping out on the dress/gown too.  It's just a little too uncomfortable for me for MMJ on NYE.  

I was in the GA section at MSG on Tuesday (for Neil Young!!!) and the beer guys only came around during the opening acts and between sets. Not during the main act. You'll want to get a few beers before MMJ comes on if you want to keep you buzz going and not have to go out to the concourse for beer.

That only leaves the problem of having to pee!

As for the coats, I just layered and brought a backpack to stick my jacket and such in. They allow you to bring in bags, but search them. Make sure your "sneaky" items (flask, grass, etc.) isn't in your bag.

It was a big party on the floor for Neil Young. People were blazin up left and right!

To the 9's people!!  

My girl just bought a full length black strapless ball gown, it's insanely glamorous!  I'm rocking a full black suit, black top hat, white tie!  As long as your rocking comfortable shoes it's all good.  

Whatever you do....take care of your shoes.  

[Sassbox]

To the nines!  I'm not wearing a gown, but I will be in a dress for certain.

j_rud, get yourself a monocle!  On second thought, it'll probably be falling out all night.

Creative black tie, people!  Converse makes some awesome metallic and glitter Chucks.  ;)

Just picked up a fake monocle and mustache to go along with my top hat. I'm ready.

j rud and fredo and rogo, I like your style!  And I vote yes on the chops, j rud    ;D

The way I see it, this is like Halloween...who wusses out on an awesome Halloween costume because they might be slightly uncomfortable for a few hours?  TO THA NINES!!!

[walterfredo]

if any Bay Area peeps need to find a perfect hat, I suggest Berkeley Hat on Telegraph and Dwight, I've never seen so many hats before.  I picked up a nice one last weekend.

Me!   ;D   Nah, I'm with Penny.  Gown, heels, jewelry are all the things I leave at home on purpose for NYE in the city.  Festive, absolutely...but, I'm gonna rock in the new year dressed to the fives!
;)

Kudos to the women who rock out in full-on ball regalia!!  More power to you!!!  :)

[ALady]

Clearly we need to find a workable solution for the ladies of JacketLand.

Polar fleece ball gown.  Make it work.   ;D

after 911 and the black out, not many women (no matter what the occasion) run around NYC in non comfortable shoes unless they have another pair somewhere on them. just FYI (unless your hotel or car is central) -debbie downer :-?

Whatever you do....take care of your shoes.  

This is all you really ever need to know.

I was sold on the dress idea at first and when I went to see Bon Iver this past Monday I realized how sweaty and disgusting I get in crowds. Granted, this was a tiny venue with practically no circulation, but I was uncomfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. The dress I bought is semi-clingy and I know that with the doors opening at 8 and probably being there until 1:00ish I will be ready to kill someone if I am uncomfortable. I'm opting for a lacy tank with a thin t-shirt (which can come off in event of being overheated), black dress pants and a boatload of accessories. If the camera pans across the floor (hey...I'm hoping this will be taped) they won't see below my shoulders anyway.

And I agree with Debbie...I mean Penny. Comfy shoes are a must.

Sorry for all the details but I don't want to seem like a party pooper.

I'm hoping I can pick up some sort of 2009 hat or headband thing when I come into Penn Station.

My GOD I can't wait.

[j_rud]

uncomfortable at best...shoes...hot....sweaty...men dont understand...I dont even want to hear it. As far as Im concerned this is a decree come down from on high...


[size=22] TO THE MUTHAFUCKIN NINES!!![/size]

[Sassbox]

Mr. Rud is revved!

I understand the comfort concerns, truly I do, but...Jim's wish is my command.   :)

i finally have time to go shopping tomorrow so we'll see---for those of you staying at a hotel in the city, the whole wardrobe thing won't be a prob. for the rest of us, commuting will be a b*tch. BUT I WILL STILL TRY TO PLAY ALONG AND FIND SOME "NINES" ATTIRE THIS WEEKEND. i don't want to be underdressed if i stand next to J rud in a picture or something.
