Last night was a great way to celebrate greeting the New Year. We went to a public party held at the firehouse. All the volunteer firemen were there with their wives or girlfriends. They hired both a DJ and a live band for the night. The DJ played requests while the band took their 20 minute breaks.

It was BYOB except that the firemen provided a a little plastic champagne glass with bubbly at midnight for the toast. They stopped the music at a couple minutes before midnight and put the Dick Clark New York City show on the widescreen TV and we all joined in with the countdown to 2009 and watched the ball drop. It was very cool.
