Everybody’s good at something. I’ve always had a knack for throwing good parties. Whereas New Year’s Eve has always excelled at sucking. I’m tired of stuffy black-tie events that usually involve more effort than a wedding and are always a lot less fun. I’m tired of slapdash, mediocre house-parties that are thrown together at the last minute because nobody has anything remotely better to do. I’m tired of never having anything good to look forward to when the ball drops – save for yet another ferocious and expensive hangover. So I’m about ready to throw my hat into the ring and organize an NYE party at The SideBar. I also just used the word ’slapdash’.
But I’m not going to stick my neck out if nobody cares. I want to get a feel for public opinion on this proposed bender before I spend a month and a half working on it. So here’s the deal – I promise it will be fun, and I promise the price will be right. There will be a DJ, food, champagne and I’ll do my damndest to fill the place with lots of people you know. You’ll be able to invite your friends, and we’ll keep the party going until 2 a.m. It’s a convenient downtown location, and it’s right near the ‘T’. And no, I’m not making any money off of this. Chime in below.

Mr Pye,

New Years Eve is always so lame. I think a ‘Dave Pye’ party at the Side Bar would be a refreshing change of pace. Can anyone go to it or is it exclusive to the North End, Northern territories crowd?
If anyone can go, I’d like some.
You Doyles are causing a conundrum. Transportation is a nightmare NYE. As much as I’d like to go to Mike’s party, I’m gonna stay within walking distance of my apartment. I’d need a Harrier jump-jet to get out there, and a full dog-sled team to get back. So best of luck, but I’m not pulling the plug yet.
Yah – I am definitely bout the sidebar – Last year we spent the whole night walking in between The Sidebar and Tiernans trying to figure out what we wanted to do for New Years Eve – A PyeXtravaganza is definitely needed this year. No hassle, no organization, and I will always know that no kegs or eggs will run out. Hey, this might actually work in our favor as long as there is no snow storm or even if there is.
Will it be a costume ball? I’m sick of wearing masculine clothes day in and day out except for Halloween.
As much as I would love to come down for a bash, go Orc hunting, and down some blissfull canoli’s – I’m on call over New Years….
Yes – New Years Eve will be a Pajama Party and instead of wearing a damn suit and tie monkey suit. And My Pajama’s are going to be ‘My Special Underwear’ look out ladies – seriously don’t set your expectations high. Just remember that I have thick legs and when comparing my twig & berries to my legs… well you get the picture.
Adam – we definitely need a dress code of some kind. It won’t be black tie or anything. I’ll think on it.
Monster – You need to stop watching House Party 2 so much. Pajama jammy jam? Please. Oh, and fuck off.
