Hard to believe, but it's been almost 20 years.
So many memories.
Maybe you have some to share, too?
Like the New Years' eve celebration you went to. I had the luxury of a total time-waster of karaoke at the infamous 100-to-1 Club in Arcadia California (don't think Joan was even a gleam in her daddy's eye yet) right near the race track and the mall. 8 pm to 2 am the following day. Sang Love Shack by the B-52s three times. A grand time was had by all, for sure. And, on top of all else, it was a Friday, right before a Saturday (I looked it up).
Alcohol was consumed (this wasn't Saudi Arabia, after all) but, amazingly, things went relatively smoothly. This was, after all, a new millenium, and it would be bad luck to get sent to jail or the graveyard at the very beginning of it. We even toasted the cops (with raised glasses) for keeping us safe from Y2K, and laughing when we nose-dived paper airplanes to the ground, "oh no, planes are falling from the sky, please save us!"
So what do you remember in this time of reflection? When you really partied like it was 1999, because it actually was?
