At work, waiting for that nonsense bug to kick in.

The disasters you may have been imagining must have been apocalyptic! I was home the wife and kids. Never liked being out on New Year's Eve.

I do not believe that was a scenario we anticipated.

Though the worse case scenarios were assessed.

On a sailboat, anchored off Rest Beach in Key West.

I was walking in Richmond Park, with my parents and sister and a bottle of champagne, watching the fireworks over London.

I was with my wife and about a thousand other people standing in the cold air waiting outside of a temple in Nara (near Kyoto) Japan. At midnight they open the doors and let the people walk through as monks ring a big bell and you can look at a giant golden Buddha.

Or was it in case he malfunctioned?

Chan the pug reminds me that it was his 2nd birthday. My dad, who was 75 at the the time, was in Times Square and the dogs and I had the house to ourselves. I was glad I didn't have his computer on, seeing as how the library system's ended up crashing.

Ironically enough, that was the last night of my married life; seems sort of apropos.

Tony in Tarzana · Oct 25, 2006

Getting ready to set off a bunch of fireworks. Hawaii is one of the last time zones to see the new year, so I was listening to the news throughout the day and when I heard Japan had no problems, I wasn't too worried.

I had grown tired by that point of correcting people who thought the new millenium was starting. 2001, dammit! Listen to Arthur C. Clarke! lol

I was at a festive party with my wife who was in an exceedingly bad humor. Perhaps it was the Y2Kpause. I dunno. But, I never do. [huh]

I was at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, at the Metallica / Ted Nugent / Sevendust / Kid Rock concert. <img src="http://smileydatabase.com/s/682.gif"/>

In my grandmother's living room in San Marino, CA waiting for the next day to go to the Rose Parade. Oh, and watching all of the endless television programs covering the New Year and talking about computer outtages, yadda yadda yadda, and baby boomers. Did I mention I was going to the Rose Parade the next morning?

I wish I were in two places at once....

In the Bunker!

I was in my personal bunker working the reloading machine and watching over the stockpile of food and water waiting for the rampaging mob to come down the block!

Actually I was at a friends resturant celebrating with some 40 or so friends after a great dinner and an outstanding beer tasting there.:essen: :cheers1: :beer: :beer:

Although somewhat disappointed the world didn't go crazy, i got on with my life.

Polka Dot · Oct 25, 2006

With some friends, wearing sparkly "2000" glasses and drinking pop in our pajamas.

I was fifteen; how exciting do you think it could have been?

Benny Holiday · Oct 25, 2006

Seeing as you ask . . .

I was performing in the middle of nowhere at a pathetic excuse for a gig, courtesy of a devious mongrel-guts DJ who hijacked the 400-strong audience who'd bought tickets to the show. He'd hired us to do the event with him, but then got offered more money by another club, so instead of promoting our event and working with us, he pulled out at the last minute and we discovered the 400 + people we'd been expecting had all turned up somewhere else, as all the advertising had gone into his gig. We had about 20 people in the audience and it was bloody awful.

Here's a pic of us going crazy anyway, complete with New Year's Eve leis around our necks . . .

Fleur De Guerre · Oct 25, 2006

I was at an all night rave with my then boyfriend and a large group of friends. We almost didn't make it as his ancient Mini sprung a petrol leak in the engine

and it would have been extremely unsafe to drive. I could see the headlines "Teenage couple die in millennium eve fireball".

I think I had a good time. I can't remember much about it!:eusa_doh:

Steve · Oct 25, 2006

I was at some friends' house, standing in their front yard touching off fireworks. As midnight rolled around were started the countdown and let out some happy yells when the lights stayed on.

Elaina · Oct 25, 2006

Sicker then a dog and covered in baby goop at that precise time. Son and I both had penumonia and he was very coliky.
