a thing in 31 photos in 2005 new years eve showing 2005 only · show all years Scott! We all went downstairs and found the usual suspects hanging out down in the basement backroom. But by the time I got there, the place was dead. Right after I walked in the door, Ryan and Amy K. showed up (they'd had a mellow evening and decided to rally late as well!) 2005 was a pretty fucking sweet year. Here's to hoping 2006 is even better. Happy New Year! Happy 2006, Leigh Lezark! Geordon was already going through the photos from earlier in the evening... ...while Grant, Amanda and I hopped in a cab. They headed home and afterwards I took the cab to see if MisShapes was still going on. ...the awesome bag of "2006" glasses that someone had brought to the party! Happy 2006, Meredith! Happy 2006, Niki the Roommate! (Sorry, I'm the worst roommate ever!) The party wound down a little bit before 4am. Meredith decided to call it a night... Happy 9006, Siege! (I didn't know you were celebrating the Jewish calendar!) Happy 2006, Seth! After all the "it's a brand new year!" excitement died down... Holy shit, you're going to squeeze out a kid in 2006, Liz! You're a star in 2006, Grizz! Happy 2006, KT! Happy 2006, Mrs. Peepers! Holy shit, you're going to be a dad in 2006, Frank! Siege (drinking a Sour Apple Smirnoff Ice, no less!) and Mandy Moo. ...we got right back to playing DDR. Fatty played Auld Lang Syne on a tiny, tiny bugle. Frank showed off Liz's work in progress! Lydia coming soon! And then it was time for New Year's Eve Portraits! Featuring... Michael Martin (the most elusive dude we know) even showed up! Yay! Amanda popped the champagne! A few dance-offs later and it was midnight! Happy 2006, everyone! Happy 2006, Michael Martin! Happy 2006, Meredith! The affair started low-key with the usual suspects (Grant, Fatty, Katie, Amanda and Siege) chilling in my room. Then as more people started to arrive, we moved out into the living room and set up Dance Dance Revolution! I'd even gone out a few days earlier and bought a second "dance pad" so that two people could go head-to-head in a competitive DANCE OFF! Here's Meredith and Grant squaring off. Seth and Erinne. The Tinny! I stole this picture from Amy's account of the night because I like it so much!
