Where is Bay Ridge? It’s an hour subway ride into Brooklyn, and if that doesn’t mean anything to you all I can say is “far from me”. It also happens to be where I spent NYE, hanging out with CC and Sarah.

We had a nice dinner and a million drinks at the Pearl Room before hitting a couple random bars for the afterhours business. All in all, it was a good time for all. It’s odd going out to the other burroughs. When I’m out there it feels just like being out at my favorite bars in Texas. A lot of locals, so many that they don’t even know each other. It’s a comfortable feeling, being surrounded by a group of people that feel at home. I don’t feel like I get that often in Manhattan. It was a nice feeing for NYE.

The train to and from was brutal. At 5:30 in the morning, it’s more like an hour and a half. Which means I made it home just in time for dawn.

Yeah, it was a long day, but I had a good time. And now I’m doing what everyone does on New Years Day. A whole lot of nothing. I was awake to catch dusk though.

Happy New Year and all that business.
