Aka New Year's Party version 4.0...

Almost didn't plan to have a New Year's party this year, but some LA'ers requested it-- and the one who made noise about it first, Helma, wavered on the rest of us about coming. heh. (just couldn't let you off easy)

Nick, Dave (aka hairless Dave), Erik, and Helma showed up first... then Kim, Billy, Viet, and Amy came. Everyone so far is a UCLA student... but eventually two Cal students made an appearance, Jen and then Constant. My parents made some yummy chicken wings, jello, and BBQ'ed veggies... mmmmmmmmmm...

Not a whole lot else to say, other than that it was fun! Picked on Helma too much as usual, watched parts of Fight Club, Grosse Point Blank, The Wild Bunch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. We never could sit down and watch an entire movie... hehe! Also, all the Skyy Vodka got locked at Barry's house, so we didn't have anything for the sour pucker. :-( Helma tried to make a creative drink for Nick to drink, but when word got out that she had put butter in it, he refused to drink it-- heck everyone refused to drink it!!

When midnight came, my parents broke out the wineglasses. We finished a bottle of Cook's champagne-- at 11:59:20 I found myself frantically reaching for the nearest bottle of fizzy stuff and at 11:59:22 I was desperately trying to open a bottle of sparkling cider for the toast at midnight... I just barely made it!

Eventually people cleared out and left, but of the first group who arrived, we all stayed. I ended up breaking out the sleeping bags for Dave and Nick.... we woke up in the morning and did more, but that'll come later... Oh, Helma developed an obsession for close-up shots, so if you see any truly scary pictures, she was probably involved in the taking of them...
