1 Down, 364 to Go...

This year's NYE, a few friends and I headed out to a party at Circa, a trendy Marina eatery (the chef was a contestant on Top Chef!). Our pre-party attempts were partially successfully, but completely voided after a long walk in the freezing cold to take the bus (free for the night!) to our destination. I've long heard that there are not enough cabs in SF and we were the victims this night. Circa was mad crowded, and while our party had reserved the upstairs part of the restaurant/lounge, it was still jam-packed with girls in skimpy dresses and glitter make-up and guys decked out in suits, vests, tuxedos (???). The rest of the night is a blur. The countdown was pretty typical. It caught me by surprise because all of a sudden, it was "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, haaappyyy neeewww yeeeaaar!" And then it was 2009. Weird. Afterward, some people got sick, some people got tired, and I was in bed by 2:00am.

I woke up the next morning feeling slightly groggy, but otherwise in good shape. Pizza, wings, and soda cured whatever hangoverness that I had. Yesss!!! It was nice to relax most of the day. We went out to dinner later for my parents' Anniversary. That was nice too. All in all, it was a good start to 2009. :)
