NEW YEARS EVE
is such a crazy night!

Where will you be???


I found a blog called CULTURE MOB  who summed it up best...2009 is waiting for us right around the corner, and along with it comes a fresh start and a new chance to create and mold your life into one of which you have always dreamed. So maybe 2008 wasn’t the best year ever for you;

perhaps your new home was repossessed, you had to sell your hybrid car to buy gasoline, you were laid off from your dream job and now can’t find even find a part-time gig bussing tables. Some jerk stole your iPhone out of your car, your stocks are worth less than Britney Spears’ new album...

 
At this point, there is only one thing left to do: PARTY YOUR BRAINS OUT!

When all else fails, we must gather around us those whom we love and revel in the simple joys of warm human companionship that cost nothing, drink a cheap domestic brew or five (get your buzz on AND support the national economy), indulge in the free aerobic entertainment known as dancing and let your soul be soothed by music.

This is NOT the year to spend New Year’s Eve sitting at home in front of your TV with a belly full of pepperoni Hot Pockets and a string of Jagermeister-flavored drool hanging off your pouty lower lip. Get out there and join your friends in celebration of what lies ahead, because let’s admit it, folks, it can’t get much worse than this!

NEW YORK CITY is probably one of the biggest celebrations in the world. Tickets and reservations are actually  STILL AVAILABLE at a site called  NEW YEARS .com  for some of the big restaurant and club parties. 

The  SAINT AT LARGE will be a big gay dance party, that is sure to be happening and full of hot men!


Here in the US,  LAS VEGAS has a big shin-dig also.The Strip fills with revelers (mostly straight, of course). Fireworks light up the sky. The casinos are body-to-body, the showrooms filled with A-list entertainers and Vegas is more gloriously alive than you've ever seen it. New Year's Eve in Vegas is a world-class celebration. 

Legendary Hex Hector will be spinning at KRAVE, for the gay and gay friendly crowd.

Tired of the bar and club scene? Had your fill of special menus? Check out this list of New Years Eve London events and parties guaranteed to start off 2009 with a bang. 

According to Time Out London, Best for disco dancin’! is  Horse Meat Disco at Cargo clinches it with their resident DJ stars.  Best for non-stop cosmopolitan party people is The Rio Carnival Black & White Ball at EGG has Brazilians, Brits, Americans, South Africans and Danish DJs, and the after party goes on well into 2009. Wear white.

Disco Damaged  says Two venues, two different vibes...Barcode Vauxhall
The unbeatable Barcode party vibe with Barcode resident DJ’s, pryos and Barcode’s usual sexy, up for it crowd.
Open from 4pm until 8am. DJ’s: Faye Lanson, Tony Junior, Mattias, Saki and Astroboy.  or...Barcode Soho
A relaxed and social vibe - Ben Jammin mixes up soul and disco with current favorites. A perfect way to see in the New Year if you fancy something a little different from the mega-discos.

New Year's Eve in Prague is party night. The restaurants and river boats are full of people all evening, and the atmosphere gently building. Towards midnight the squares and the banks of the river fill, as people gather to admire fireworks over the city.

Lots of fireworks at midnight, of course. The first is to assemble anywhere on, or overlooking, the river: this means Charles Bridge, Petrin Hill and Prague Castle, plus the terraces of the river restaurants and the decks of the river cruise boats (which tend to gather around Charles Bridge).


The second option for midnight is the Old Town Square, and to a lesser extent, Wenceslas Square. The Old Town Square in particular is the 'adventurous' option! Fireworks in the air, as well as street level, but it's very safe.

The big gay party will be at  TEMPLE! Originally Pinocchio, the club was completely redesigned in 2007 to give Prague a totally new venue for it's gay community and visitors. It's a beautiful space and lots of fun people as well as plenty of eye candy!

 
No matter where you are, or how you

celebrate, we want to wish you all  a very

happy new year, and best wishes for a

better 2009 for all of us!
