NYE: The Most Overrated Night of the Year
Dec 31st, 2008 by Rusty Beach
NYE is honestly the most overrated night of the year. Maybe if I lived in NYC, I would feel differently, but here in the Midwest it is far from glitz and glam. Here are my top 5 reasons why NYE is overrated:
1. Banquet Hall Parties-Why would you want to spend hundreds of dollars to ‘party’ at the same place you attended a wedding at last summer? Was the mostacolli that good?
2. Dance Clubs- So, you are willing to pay a $50 cover charge for ‘free party favors’ and a ‘champagne toast at midnight’? Are you sure? The favors are from the dollar store and the champagne is Andre, so you may want to rethink this one. Really.
3. Your Outfit- Must contain glitter, beading, sequence, or all of the above.
4. The Overuse of the Word ‘Exclusive’ - An EXCLUSIVE party for the New Year… The EXCLUSIVE DJ from Europe… EXCLUSIVELY from New York… Exclusive! Exclusive! Exclusive!
5. Hotel Parties- Can’t you just invite the same people to your house and play Scrabble there? Really, the hot tub isn’t that necessary.
So, what is my suggestion for NYE since I am being a little judgemental…
Save your money for 2009 and drink at home with Dick Clark! He was there for you when you were a little kid and he is still here for you wishing you a happy and healthy New Year! Go, Dick!

Got to agree with you on this one—-but movies are still a good option.
Trust me…it is NO better in NYC. Just way, way, way more expensive!!!
