We finally found an event worthy enough for our 9th wedding anniversary!

When we chose New Year's Eve as our wedding day in 1997 I thought it was cool because it meant every year the whole world would celebrate with us. Later I discovered what it really did was make it hard to get a table at any of our favorite resturants, have to pay a premium at some places for what would cost a lot less on any other night of the year, and otherwise be limited to a lot of dance parties, of which we don't like to attend since we don't dance.

What are you doing for New Year's Eve?

But today I hit upon a very cool New Year's Eve event that Steve agreed sounded like a lot of fun! The 007 New Years party! http://www.007newyears.com/ It happens to be sponsored by one of the new radio stations in town, Jack 96.5 FM (what used to be my 80s station). When I was without satellite radio in my car for a couple of months I listened to this station more than any other because they still play a lot of 80s material. But I found out about this event in the Seattle Times online. Steve even managed to get tickets to the pre-gala dinner! And I don't gamble, but Fantasy Casino is a lot of fun for me. And Steve is a huge James Bond fan - altho I don't know if he will be going in costume...I don't have the bod of a Bond girl, so I can just dress nice and leave it at that. He's trying to decide Bond or villain? I just bought something sparkly.

McJohn, formerly with Steppenwolf, will be playing “Born to Be Wild” and “Magic Carpet Ride” Alan White from Yes is going to play “Owner of a Lonely Heart”, “Changes” and “Instant Karma”. With musical guests like that, how can you go wrong?
