Author Topic: New years eve Alan Plester Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: great yarmouth england Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-29-2006 12:10 PM                     so Christmas is over and now we look forward to the new year?, how are you going to celebrate it?. Do you stay up all night ( why ) or just put your feet up and at the stroke of midnight haul yourself of to bed?. Happy New Year to every one out there in cine land.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2006 01:05 PM                        6:30 - 9:30: Work at theatre 9:30 - 10:30: Take a drive around town observing "amateur night" festivities 10:30 - 11:59: Watch TV and eat snacks at home with wife 12:00: Wake up wife (who is dozing) and wish her a "Happy New Year" 12:01: Clean up snacks, go to bed. Pretty darn exciting. I miss the old partying days sometimes, but this way is more relaxing and satisfying, for us at least.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA...

Why wait 'til Christmas next year? Starting in June, I'll put a 15kW audio system pointed at your place playing for 6 months, 24/7: "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" and "Jingle Bells" by the Barking Dogs... HA!  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 12-29-2006 06:45 PM                     I'm cooking a vegetarian Indian dinner (from the Moosewood cookbook) for my friend, who is supplying the wine. THen we will watch part 2 of RENT (we watched part 1 XMAS Eve), and will probably watch ep. 5 of DA ALI G SHOW and ep. 12 s. 4 of 24. Then I'm sure we'll argue/debate politics and watch EITHER a serious International movie (THe Conformist, The Damned, or maybe part 1 of 1900) OR something in bad taste (John Waters' Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, etc). Then close to midnight, break out a bottle of champaigne which I've had in the refrigerator for at least 10 years) and toast in the New Year!  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 12-29-2006 07:25 PM                        Not sure here. I'm off New Years Eve, but have to work at 10:30a, New Years Day. I may just RSVP to that "play party" I was invited to. And me without a coin to flip.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 12-29-2006 09:55 PM                     I'll be ushering in the New Year at the theatre. (Pun unintentional). I'm the closing manager New Years Eve, and since We Are Marshall drops at 12:35 or later I'll be in the office and I will happen to look up and see the clock reading 12:08, then I somberly realize I have pissed away another year of my life, again, then I will go downstairs to check if the usher is actually picking up trash in the theatres or if he/she is watching movies again... Just another night to me.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-29-2006 10:31 PM                        quote: Mike Blakesley 6:30 - 9:30: Work at theatre 9:30 - 10:30: Take a drive around town observing "amateur night" festivities 10:30 - 11:59: Watch TV and eat snacks at home with wife 12:00: Wake up wife (who is dozing) and wish her a "Happy New Year" 12:01: Clean up snacks, go to bed.

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 12-30-2006 01:46 AM                        I'll be workin' Sunday 1pm to midnight. Will attempt to drive home just after midnight by staying a couple of blocks east of the Strip, crossing it somewhere between St. Louis and Alta, hoping to avoid the couple of hundred thousand amateur drunks that will be all over the Strip at that time. Should be fun! Will be off on Monday probably watching football all day.  |  IP: Logged
