Well, I was going to say inane or insipid, or maybe assumptive but it was basically just a shallow joke attempt. I think sometimes Pat is funny, but he sometimes tries too hard and steps on toes as well as changing the subject. So instead of talking about NYE plans, we end up talking about Pat.
But that's not what I'm getting at, I'm just saying I'm a fragile sunflower and if you want to make fun of me, at least be creative!
I can't see NYE in Montreal either, but that would be very cool with me and I would start making plans to go. Wherever it is, we're going to need to know soon because hotels and other accomodations are often to the max on NYE so it's good to have things lines up (some need to get plane tix, which takes more than 30 days or you pay nosebleed prices).
When I throw a NYE party (and you're all invited...well, most of you ;-}), I will give plenty of notice...like 6 mo. to a year. Because it's not going to be just a show at a place, it's going to be an excursion and an adventure. It's going to involve warm water and a beach, several days and noone leaves w/o a tattoo or stories to share.
So I doubt the water will be swimmable on NYE, but there are indoor pools at certain facilities...which is why knowing the town soon will help a lot.
Keep us all posted and I'll do the same (with approval, of course).
