What ruined my time at NYE (a bummer)

[goose]

Speaking of vomit on NYE, I probably told 20 people since I was home I haven't seen that much vomit in 5 years.  I am 29, but that made me feel like I was at a sixteen yr old party sneaking alchohol with everyone.  In MSG, Outside after the show, at McDonald's across the street; Everywhere!

[kydiddle]

Yay, what a happy ending!  :)

I haven't been round here long but you guys are all awesome... nice to know there are still some pretty good people out there  :)

Pffff...tee hee.  :-?

[Sassbox]

Gah, I feel so left out...I didn't see anyone vomiting!!!

Speaking of vomit on NYE...Everywhere!

I usually hear the word PUKE-a short and nasty word.  

Whenever I hear Vomit, I think of two things,

1) that funky-smelly stuff, the consistency of sawdust, that the janitor always had to sprinkle on Vomit at Parochial School before the nuns could clean it up
and
2) that song we always sang on the playround to the tune "Bridge over the River Kwai"

Comet, it tastes like gasoline.
Comet, it makes your teeth turn green.
Comet, it makes you vomit,
So get some Comet and vomit toda-a-ay!

Comet, it makes your teeth turn red.
Comet, it makes you wet your bed.
Comet will make you vomit,
So buy some Comet and vomit today.
:D

Because if there's one thing that goes well with shooting zombies it's a Dolly Parton cover

This is sig worthy.

Well, I would let you smell my sweater so you feel better about this. . . but I like you too much.

(Person behind me projectiled. Sweater ruined. Luckily I was not wearing it at the time.)

I've learned two things today:

This board rocks the universe.

Never take a train thru New Jersey.

;D

YOU KIDS ARE FAB!!

zoso for sending up a flare, penny for offering the scarf as consolation, and jack for hooking up the zoso/poster reunion!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, INDEED!

for the record:  saw no vomit on nye.  by the time we took the train out to white plains it was 5:30a.  those who might pass out, where long since passed out.  [smiley=beer.gif]

...It reminds me of vespa getting the set list and giving to ms yvon :-) so nice.

i haven't even posted a comment about the show yet, so i haven't shared this:

and it's sitting here on my desk right now.   :-* :D [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]  amy, you are teh raddest!  :-*

First time poster (year-long lurker), finally compelled to register and write in because reading this thread just now actually brought tears to my eyes. What can I say? I live for music, NYE was a magical night, and my emotions are easily manipulated.

You all seem like a humorous, intelligent, and sweet bunch of folks. Looking forward to getting to know you all intimately.

It was my pleasure.  Your reviews are so lovely, as are you (and Paul).  When I was handed a setlist, I waited to see if you got one too, and when it didn't happen I knew that mine was yours.  It worked out.  I later got JJ's 2008 glasses - 2008 WTF???.  It's all good karma.  We're all friends here.  XOXO ;) :-*

I think this is a festivus miracle!

I just read this whole thread.  I really dont know how to describe the emotional roller coaster that I just went through.

I started off feeling really bad for a very unlucky SOB.  Then Penny who we all know loves MMJ offers up her scarf.  I mean this is probably the coolest keepsake of them all.  You offered it up to a rank stranger.  Next we have someone who found your 2nd poster (I mean what are the odds) and now within a week it will be back to you.

that is the kind of things that really make me believe in the power of music....this board is full of good people who love an amazing band

Im sitting here blown away by this thread!

[harpua51]

And now for my next thought.....

Do people come to NYC for NYE and just turn into amateur hour...or do people up nort not have any idea how to hold their liquor?

I have not heard such stories of puking since my best friends were living in the frat house @ Centre College back in ol Kentuck

Why not?  With feats of strength and the airing of grievances, festivus LIVES!

Easy explanation:

Rutgers University has a direct line into the City. Rutgers, a/k/a Slutgers, has one of the highest STD rates in the country. As an alum, it's a great time, but there are plenty of farkin' amateurs to go around.

Pt II: Hoboken, where kids go after they graduate. It's just, or at least used to be, like one giant frat row. Now it's become so pretentious and expensive that this trend is changing.

Ky!!! are you f-in serious!!?? You have a Jerri Blank picture!! OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG that is one of my favorite shows of all time. you are my new hero.

Hey all thought I'd update you on "the poster on the milk carton status", it is going into the US priority mail pile this morning, I work right outside philadelphia so it should be in north jersey to zoso by monday, tuesday at the latest.  Also a word on the pukers and vomit queens. There definitely were a bunch of overly drunk dopes on the way home, however they were definitely definitely in the minority, considering the millions that were in nyc for whatever event last week. Everyone have a great weekend and take care of yourself and each other and glad i could help you out zoso. jack  :)

i've been in Hoboken for 5 years and it's definitely changing--yeah, i think we have more bars per square foot than any city in the country (lol) but it's changing into double stroller and lattes now rather than frat row--- everyone was single when i first moved here and there was a bar/restaurant on every corner--now there are more banks and realtors, etc--the market crashing put a lot of the 20's post grads out of work so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Most of the people I know went to Union City or Jersey City because they couldn't swing the $1500/mo rent.

You know that porn shop about halfway down, I think near Mile Square? We learned in my property class that every so often a bunch of families try and shut it down and it has this air-tight first amendment case that keeps it going. I thought that was nifty.

So long as I can go to Mile Square and Maxwells, I'll still go to Hoboken. I just think it's a shame it became so unaffordable to live there. It has something for everyone, except parking.
