hogmany/new years eve

[WhenImYoung]

seeing as i missed the fringe this year, i want to be in edinburgh for the new year... so that's where i'll be. anyone else local or planning to head up - littlemissy??

[lucifer devil]

i went to hogmanay for the millenium, it was amazing. we went to something square (there's probably loads!).

this year i'm going out in lincoln i believe. last year i went out in nottingham, that was cool.

[lipsy]

NYE is shit! last year i edned up going to a crap club and snogged a kilt-wearing glasweigan! i have a feeling this year will be better though because i have more proper clubbing friends now :)

[LuckyStrike]

NYE is always a massive let down, xmas eve is such a better night out.

i would like to try edinburgh for NYE but doubt i will.

last few years, me and about 20 of my closest friends have been out for a meal on NYE before heading out for a few beers, not paying silly money into the same club you pay £5 into the rest of the year.

[briggi]

NYE is always a massive let down, xmas eve is such a better night out.

Ain't that the truth! I'm already looking forward to Xmas eve :hyper:

Currently deciding whether to spend NY in Stockholm or stay here and have a house party, as I will be able to play hostess for the first time ever :D

yeh last xmas eve was fab :D

[go_away]

Going to be in South Africa for the new year, v. excited, have never been before. Although it does mean missing my friend's annual NYE bash with tonnes of debauchery :crying:

[lucifer devil]

i can never see myself going out on christmas eve. the last thing i want on christmas day is a hangover!

[LuckyStrike]

i can never see myself going out on christmas eve. the last thing i want on christmas day is a hangover!

wuss! :P

its part of the fun, xmas eve go out and get smashed, get up hungover on xmas day, go to the boozer round the corner while the ladies prepare lunch, back for xmas meal, open prezzies, drink some more.

fall asleep full and fulfilled.

best day in the world.

[lucifer devil]

i get really miserable when i'm hungover and christmas is meant to be a jolly day!

[1983]

I'm going to George Square in Glasgow to bring it home with The Fratellis! YAS!
I can't wait, and I'm going with my bestest bestest mate. AHH! This year's been amaaaaaaaaaazing.

[Young and sexy]

I shall indeed be in Edinburgh again for New Year. Going to City to see 2ManyDJ's. Bring it on, baby :razz:

2ManyDJs are also amaze.

Huzzah!

[icey]

I would like to be at the NEC but i know that wont happen because none of my friends will go to that. :\

[Bri-namite]

If I'm in Glasgow, I'll be going to either The Garage or Buffalo Joes.

If I'm at home then I'll be in the Ship Inn all night.

[VinylVicky]

I would like to be at the NEC but i know that wont happen because none of my friends will go to that. :\I went last year and it was sheet....manily because we queued for hours, it was too busy and i got dehydrated and constanlty needed a wee but couldn't do the deed.
I was also dressed up in some daft outfit and couldnt sit down comfy without showing my arse off or getting comfy.

This year I'm going to be in a log cabin in the middle of no where, with a hot tub, decks, booze, narcotics and 14 great mates, for 5 days :D

[Girl_gunner]

I believe in going to be here in Manchester and there will be some sort of party:D

[pink_glitter]

i dont believe this lol, im searching on google for new years eve lincoln.. to see whats going on and it brings up this thread.. theres no gettin away lol :banghead: :lol:

[Foxxy_Cymru]

Same! Never been to Scotland properly either, meetin loads of people there i met from camp this summer an i cant wait! :hyper:

[Bri-namite]

I really wanna have a quiet and contemplative one now, just me and a Baileys and a smoke.

Chances of that happening = zero :grump:

Hiya!

I'm not going to George Square anymore, I'm going to London with my mate for a 4 day weekend of debauchery at a houseparty. Taking a shitload of Buckfast down, mwaha.

[TheKingOfGlasgow]

I'm hitting Ashton Lane. £20 a ticket, but it'll be worth it!

[lucifer devil]

i'd avoid it, to be honest!

choice of clubs in lincoln is a bit dire really. ritzys would be okay but not when it's full of scummy locals. my friend wants to go. :grump:

well ive had a look online and i think its gonna be ritzys for us too, i love jaks anyway, and tbh ill most prob only be out with locals lol. ive got a couple of mates from home comin up, but it will mainly be my bf(who is a local) and some mates from work. i wanted to go to the engine shed but cant find anything on it so im guessing its shut as most students wont be around.

[lucifer devil]

ha looks like i'm off there too. long story but i couldn't be assed with falling out with anyone and at the mo' i can't really muster up any excitement about anywhere!

engine sheds would be good (as i don't really like ritzys much) but i've not heard about anything and it is rather small!

[pill 'ed]

I would like to be at the NEC but i know that wont happen because none of my friends will go to that. :\

Yeah mate! Me and my friends were gonna get tickets to that but as we're down in sussex it will cost a bomb to get up there and we can't afford that aswell as the tickets and pills, booze and coke for the night!

[g_angel]

I'm going to this:

www.myspace.com/nyeshakedown

My choices were the following:

1. Go to a local/normal NYE night and hate every second of it, surrounded by a bunch of complete drunken wankers/tarts who would no doubt start brawling at some point... *bliss*
2. Stay home - just *not* an option.
3. Go to a night that some of my friends are involved in running, where I know the people are all there for the same thing - dancing, giggling and getting not a little bit mashed, and where the pinnacle of the night isn't at 12 midnight, but the whole night. One big, happy mash-up. 'Secret' venue, and ticket only - Keeps the undesirables away. Semi-small affair - less than 500 people. Perfect. After party starting at 6am at The Cross, and it'll just go on from there. Even more perfect. :)

Lipsy, now you have some decent clubbing mates NYE will hold a WHOLE new level of coooooooooooooooool :D I know it did for me, a few years ago :)

[lipsy]

well we've decided to keep it local on NYE because the pub is in walking distance from my house and i will know so many people and get lots of free drinks off boys. it will be a laugh i think.

then on new years day we're going to the closing party at boddingtons brewery (warehouse project) to see laurent garnier and 2manyDJs.

[Addict]

Either going to the street party in Edinburgh or Dave Clarke at Shine in Belfast. I haven't really decided, and I need to soon. hmmmmm

[JamesZero]

Yeah mate! Me and my friends were gonna get tickets to that but as we're down in sussex it will cost a bomb to get up there and we can't afford that aswell as the tickets and pills, booze and coke for the night!

I'm a mixture of you and Icey... I wanted to go to this, but its a bit of a mission to get too and not many of my mates were up for it!

Oh well!

[katchika]

What's at the NEC?

NYE is usually a let down! Last year I just went to my friend's house and we played drinking games and had a laugh and then went to bed at 1. Maybe a bit sad but I enjoyed it a lot more than spending loads of money and standing in the cold trying to get a taxi and then paying stupid money to get home.

Dunno what's happening this year. I don't fancy town, it's probably going to be local pub. I have a few options.

[RubberSkin]

What's at the NEC?

752 burger vans :D

[VinylVicky]

What's at the NEC?


Slammin Vinyl

[pill 'ed]

Slammin Vinyl

Yup, a fuck off huge Dance Music Event.
All the biggest names in Drum and Bass, Hardcore e.t.c. I'd kill to be able to get up there!

In the NEC? I can't picture it being a great venue, and it's a bit of a mission to get to! Especially seeing as there's no central trains on NYE or NYD this year.

It's too big! Too many people and you queue for about 3 hours!

[pill 'ed]

I think I'm just fed up of clubs at NY. This will be the first time in 6 years that I won't be in a big club.

Whereas I've never been clubbing on NYE yet, I was only 18 in february

There we go then, your cynical side with rear one day :D

[g_angel]

then on new years day we're going to the closing party at boddingtons brewery (warehouse project) to see laurent garnier and 2manyDJs.

That will rock!

I've seen Laurent Garnier a few times at The End in London and I had to scrape myself off the ceiling. Wicked.

Always been a fan of 2manyDJs as well - cracking live!!

New Years Day parties have started becoming the thing nowadays - starting at 6am, usually. I just thought I'd push through and do the lot in one go ;) Been loading up on 5-htp in prep :D

[JamesZero]

I'm in 2 minds about that now days...
Sometimes I think the bigger the better, I went to Tranz-Mission at the Ally Pally at the start of this year which was 10000 people... it was a wicked night.
But at the same time I love places like Fabric now... really small rooms, feels alot more personal, plus the sound system in there is quallity.

Yeah I was at Transmission, FUCKING awesome! It was my first real rave aswell.
But yeah I know what you mean about Fabric, very nice club.
Might go to Breaking Science NYE actually, Friction and Eksman doing a set at midnight :thumb:

[satehen]

I went to the Edingburgh Fringe for the first time this year, it was a brilliant day out, shame you missed it.

Anyway back to new year's, i'm taking my fella off to Blackpool to celebrate.

[g_angel]

For me, I prefer clubs that are generally between 600 and 1000 people. Big enough to meet loads of new people, small enough to not lose your mates every 10 minutes. I like the more 'intimate' venues.

The Egg, The Cross, The Key, The End - they're all somewhere around or close to these figures. Perfect.

:hyper:

The huge places just don't do it for me any more - far too impersonal.

[Kat_B]

then on new years day we're going to the closing party at boddingtons brewery (warehouse project) to see laurent garnier and 2manyDJs.

Thats another one I was looking at... I think Friction is wicked...

See the thing with my mates is that our music tastes are so different between us that if we all want to be together new year we have to go somewhere pretty neutral...
Oh well, you going to the next Tranz-Mission Pill'ed?

[pill 'ed]

Yeah I know what you mean, I've got some friends that are into drum and bass, hardcore, trance e.t.c and some friends that are into rock music and metal, I like both so I go to different events with different friends but yeah on new years eve it get's a pain in the ass cos two lots of friends want to do two different things.
I sure am :D , you?

yes mate, looking forward too it.
I think they should bring the DnB room out from that middle bit and put it where either the trance or the hardcore room was...
That room didnt do the funktion 1 sound system justis, plus it was like an oven!!

Tell me about it mate, swap it with the Trance room blatantly, no one gives a fuck about Trance lol. DnB and Hardcore all the way!!
Nah, trance is alright

Really?

I tend to find London has so many I spanking nights to go to that GEEK and PLAYTIME are two of the few as genuinely treat as regulars. No disrespect to anything else, but time is certainly finite!!!

So, the Cross? When do you head down there?! Always feels a little off to think we may actually know bodies there already, outsite the friends we know...

Do you got to VVVWI often? I've only been once so far... after Crasher Classics at the end of November. I'm surprised I was still fucking alive at the end of the Sunday, haha. Went back to a mate of a mate's house and carried on getting wrecked... had to get the train back to Manchester on the Monday morning to work. Nice!

As for NYE - I didn't have anything planned as I wanted to celebrate with my best mate and she was meant to be working... as of today she got it off work :D so we managed to get tickets for the Las Vegas night at Pure in Manchester - not our usual style but still, the night is what you make it!

[Bri-namite]

Finsh work at 5 tomorrow, then it's a 5 hour trek back up north to my village, where I shall be having the qucikest of drinks with my folks before going to the local pub for the bells :D
