So like many other Haligonians, I celebrated New Years last night by getting a little bit slizzard. And by a little bit, I mean only about 10%. Work in the morning and all... gotta bring home the bacon. Instead of heading down to Grand Parade Square as I usually do, this year I drummed up enough energy to meet a special lil' lady down at the Lower Deck.
Of course I took advantage of the free bus service all night to get downtown, because mainly I find walking to be one of the most boring modes of transportation that currently exists. Anyways, as you can see by the pictures, free bus days are not surprisingly the busiest day for Metro Transit busses. These mothers were packed!
Major disclaimer: You still have to show up 15 minutes before your bus is scheduled to arrive to make sure you actually catch the busses that can sometimes arrive either 10 minutes before or 20 minutes after said departure times.
I really thought it was going to be a typical celebration style Friday night, full of drunkards and yelling and the odd tussle, but Lower Deck was actually pretty good. For $45, we got some free finger food and good music, although the booze prices were still pretty average, considering the above average door charge.
So with 2011 upon us, I'm searching for a goal to work towards for the year. In fact while doing so, I'm realizing that I already have a fair deal of projects on the go. The Crosstown Connector, SPOKE (cycling newsletter), and Bike Week plans for this year. Perhaps one of my goals should be to have less goals... although how do I track the success of that?
Happy New Year everyone!
PS - the SPACE channel is running a Star Trek marathon all day (TNG versions)!
