Later that night, we strolled up into Harlem to check out some Jazz...
It was goooood... and we were pleased.
At about midnight, the 'traditional' jazz stopped and there was a whole African drumming-with-jazz hybrid gig... and by this time, the place was packed
forget the subway, this was the rumble we were after...
Caitlin's neck was sore... so Lily thought it would be a good idea to try and strangle her...
St Nick's... must remember that (because I live here, and can go back whenever I want... )
Apparently, it is impossible, or at least very difficult to wave your hand around in one direction while simultaneously twirling your foot in the other... I'm not entirely sure what brought this up.
...and another one of our favourite activites - sniping each other with our cameras
Most days began like this... or a variation of it - a brief meeting at my place do decide on a loose itinerary for the day... and also so that the geographically-challenged would not get lost, at least between my place and our first destination.
Which was gospel at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem on that particular morning
...which was actually pretty cool. Apparently the head pastor of this church even has his own radio show.
...and more meeting up with random friends in New York...
...how dare she! in the city that never sleeps...
New Year's Eve began at Junior's - a cheesy cheesecake shop in Brooklyn
Which actually had some pretty nice cheesecake.
After that, we attended a private party of sorts... hosted by a friend-of-a-friend at Columbia.
Obviously a very sophisticated, in-depth philosophical discussion... complete with wine in plastic cups
Does this seem strange to anyone else?
Nick fiddles with the Champagne bottle while Caitlin snipes
Nick, not being very experienced at fiddling with champagne bottles... um... couldn't control it when it popped (that was not a dirty joke), and made a bit of a mess
10... 9... 8... 7... 6...
5... 4... 3... 2... 1... yay! It's 2008
We even got to see the ball drop in Times Square.
...so don the pink hat Caitlin!
...and Lily!
...and Nick!
...and Meribah!
...and some random guy...
this banner was hung quite low... as if Nick didn't have enough to worry about with that low arch, he also had to worry about grazing his shins on this stupid thing.
