Ah, New Year’s Eve.  One of my least favorite holidays.  The expectations are so high, yet most events do not deliver.  If I had to go out on New Year’s Eve, I’d go to one of the following events.

1. New Year’s Eve at the Highball - Oh, the Highball.   I love the Highball.  Cocktails, 5 course meal, jazz, DJ, and dancing.  $120 for everything or $35 for just the dancing and 2  cocktails.  This is probably your best bet.  Too bad it’s sold out.  HOWEVER, they will be letting people in at 11:30 if capacity allows…and there’s always next year!

2. 2010 Uncorked at the Seaholm Power Plant - Flosstradamus, Car Stereo (Wars), SHIV, food, cash bar, view of the fireworks.  $100.

3. New Year’s Eve Sing Along at the Alamo Drafthouse - Best pop videos of the 2000’s, champagne toast, fun times.

4. Party at your house - Stay home and have some cocktails.

Two great shows tonight.  Go to Club de Ville at 10  to see Paradise Titty, Austin’s all-girl Guns N’ Roses cover band.  You will not be disappointed.  Alert:  Some fans may think they are at an actual GNR show.  You’ve been warned.

At midnight, head over to Hole in the Wall to see North Carolina’s the Physics of Meaning.  Great musicians who put on a great show.

If I were a DJ, I would have made a sweet Paradise Titty/Physics of Meaning mash up for this post.  I’m not a DJ.  Wa wa wa.

What’s up?  What are you guys doing tonight?  Nothing good?  Oh, well, you should go see the Rural Alberta Advantage at the Parish.  I call them the Rural Juror instead (30 Rock, anyone?).  They’ll be playing with Adam Arcuragi and the Eastern Sea in a benefit concert supporting the Sustainable Food Center.  If you like bands such as Wolf Parade, Frightened Rabbit, and the Constantines, you will like them.  Good cause, good bands, do it!
