Happy Fucking New Year, Kids. It's bound to be better. Unless it gets worse. Anyway, Much Love to All.
I think this was the New Year's Eve Show that we saw Larry Bird and Kevin McHale backstage with Bill Walton. (C.B.? Was it the 1987 show?) Of course it was. That year marked the end of my marriage and the beginning of an excruciatingly harsh lesson I had yet to grasp. I learned it alright. Major collateral damage came with it. Damage that will not be denied it's right to stick around. A pricey lesson.
New Year's Eve is my favorite holiday. The whole out with the old, in with the new ritual just works for me. A yearly purge. Even if N.Y.E. Shows ceased long ago. We've adapted and grown (somewhat) accustomed to hanging around the shack, celebrating in a more subdued manner. Settled? Check. Boring? Check again. Well on our way to old. Our New Year's Eve supper: Black-Eyed Pea and Spinach Salad & Curried Red Snapper. Later on, we'll sip Lambic and bid good riddance to a fairly shitty year. Cheers!

Hope your New Year is all you want it to be, Annie! I'm having mixed feelings about it myself, due to my mom being so sick. But there are good things coming up too. Cheers!
Yes, that was the one w/ the Celtics. It was aired on cable TV and on the radio as a simulcast. I had a friend vid and aud tape it for me and I still have them. Great show.
Have you ever seen the video of it? With Mickey dressed like Spock doing a Vulcan mind meld on Jerry, who was dressed like Santa? Mickey's got his hands on Jerry's head and is saying things like, "when will the drum solo end???"

Happy New Year to you, annie. We're hoping it's going to be a much better one than this. At least we'll be electing a new president. I can hardly wait.
Enjoy your black-eyed pea salad and curry red snapper. Yum.
I never got to see a New Year's show. In fact, I never saw a show west of the Mississippi at all. Must have been great. Hope you have a wonderful year, Annie.
Happy New Year. Settled and boring are two words I wouldn't use to describe you.
I always enjoyed New Year's more than Christmas, even as a child. My mother liked to carry on the Scottish tradition of "first-footing" that she'd grown up with, only with her own special demented twists. First of all, she was so anti-social that no one ever came to our house, so I got sent out on New Year's morn in order to turn around and come back in with something to bless the house. Traditionally, that something is a piece of coal (representing a wish for warmth in the coming year), but coal is so Dirty, ew! I seem to recall being given a potato to bring in, or a nice clean piece of candy... Ah, well, she did teach me that it's refreshing to celebrate a new year, and that we can be flexible in our rituals - the intention's the thing.
Anyhow, Annie, if last year was fairly shitty, then I wish even more that 2008 is remarkably wonderful for you and your loved ones (and the world)
Happy New Year, Annie. I hope this one is much better for you.
I made it out for a New Year's run at the end of 1988. I got into the first two, but not the big one. However, they pumped the music out to the lot. It was a good time regardless. A couple of my friends got in and had a crazy time!
