Morning Discussion: New Year's Eve Edition

by Alice O'Connor, Dec 31, 2009 5:00am PST

Today is the day you can feel absolutely fantastic about the past year and be determined to continue that high into 2010. Alternatively, feel absolutely wrecked and broken by 2009 and make a resolution to somehow drag yourself out of the mire by your nails. I don't believe any other option is permitted, for some reason.

You'll probably drink alcohol tonight and deserve everything you get the next morning, so don't even think about complaining. Besides, it only serves to distract you from the real entertainment--arguing over whether today is the end of the decade or merely a decade.

The news desk is unpersoned today and tomorrow but we'll have a few little features to make up for our shameful absence. Have fun, Internet. We'll see you in the future!

Austin impromptu new years drive and impromptu shack meet @ Casino

CrustaR and I are going to go for a drive on Texas' greatest driving road:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Bullick+Hollow+Rd&daddr=30.459476,-97.914963+to:Lime+Creek+Rd&hl=en&geocode=Fc7xzwEdgtYq-g%3B%3BFS2P0QEd1M8q-g&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=13&via=1&sll=30.43639,-97.861404&sspn=0.1039,0.15398&ie=UTF8&ll=30.471905,-97.855225&spn=0.104454,0.15398&t=h&z=13

Afterward head down for a burger at Casino. If you aren't too hungover, any shackers want to go for a drive? Meet up for a burger? (Their website says they are opening normal time on New years day).
