NYE

I sorta procrastinated on the NYE plans but the initial thought was to see the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere. Lee and Kari were going to join Teri and I. I didn't get back to Lee until the day of and by then he had accepted a much better offer of VIP tickets to the 9:30 Club. That left Teri and I with no plans. I wasn't too excited to see the Seldom Scene on NYE. We figured we'd grab some dinner and then celebrate the new year with some drinks at a neighborhood bar.

We went to La Tasca for dinner which was doing a NYE special. They had an appetizer, unlimited tapas, dessert, and a bottle of wine in one package. They had party hats, noise makers, and a DJ was coming later. Things ended up rolling that night and we had a good time. We barely touched the second round of tapas but we nibbled on the dessert.

The place started hopping once the DJ started playing. You know people are having fun when women are dancing on the bar. The group across from us consisted of either a couple or brother/sister, mom, and another woman who was mom's age. The daughter was wearing a super short sweater skirt. At one point of the night I do remember getting quite the view. The mom originally pulled Teri and I out when the dancing started and we got down for awhile. When the DJ wasn't messing up the sounds were OK. We took a break but were soon forced by mom to get back up and dance. This happened at least one other time. A good time was had by all. Especially since Teri and I consumed about 4 bottles of wine. Thankfully it was a short stumble home. It must have been insanely loud because our ears were ringing for about 18 hours after that.
