New Years 2009

[KCPowercat]

Trying to compile things going on as I'm trying to find something for my group.  This is what I know so far


Hyatt - Same old black tie thing

P&L - Doing some red carpet deal...each bar has their own specials but there is also something you can buy to get a wristband into multiple bars...I haven't looked up many details yet.

I assume Martini Corner is doing their standard all bars for one type thing....anybody know any other specials going on?

Harrah's/Voodoo Lounge has been advertising their party for the past few weeks.

I think Union Station is having their annual New Years Eve party, but of course it ends at about 12:30 or 1:00.

BTW - I'm no genius, but I'm fairly certain it would be New Years 2009

With such keen observation skills, you obviously have no business being on this forum.

I know there's an event at the Convention Center, because my buddy's band is playing it.

we're booked at Terrace on Grand. better deal for hooch (open "premium" bar from 8-12:30 instead of stingy drink tickets) and a smaller crowd.

[chrizow]

what is Terrace? 

we're staying low-key - dinner at room 39, then probably champagne and movies at home.

No, Virginia, there is no Holiday Cab

Just heard back from Yellow Cab -- there will not be a Holiday Cab this year because of limited sponsorship, spokeswoman Nancy Cipolla says.

another reason to party close to home.

I wonder if it will actually be easier to get a cab on NYE since they won't be free.

if we weren't starving our transit system to death, it would be a good opportunity to offer free bus rides and extend service until 2 AM.

Anybody know of hotels close by Harrah's NKC? I'm sure the DUI checkpoints will be all over the place that night.

well any reviews? 

We did the uptown theatre thing...probably won't do that again...way too many people for way too few bartenders.  Bar was also running out of everything.

A group of my friends did the Indie.  We originally wanted to rent it out and have a private party.  They required 100 people @ $75, which would have not been difficult except for the fact that we started planning this thing about 3 weeks ago.  Typical.  $75 got you all you can drink (mid level premiums, no well crap) and a selection of beer (think Miller, Coors, Bud, Boulevard).  From my talks today with friends, it was a success.  We did not end up gettin the required 100 people there, so it was not a private party and was open to the public, but with the price being $75 @ the door, I do not think there was much of a chance of unwanted randoms coming into the party.  I expect that Ramsey will post a blog or at least pictures if you all follow his blog.

Side note:  I got to stay home with my sick wife.  I didn't think that it would be fair of me to leave her at home in bed layed up just for me to show up @ 4 am hammered.
