Happy New Year!
I had a good one myself. As noted before, for the second year in a row I went to
Epcot to bring in the new year. Got there about 7:30, but this year they didn't
let us in until 8:45 (park opens at 9, and last year they had everything going
when we got there at 7:30). Needless to say, thanks to probably less interest,
and the bad tourism industry, it wasn't really too awfully crowded, more like a
very heavy summer day than a New Years day. Definitly less people than last
year, and a whole lot less people than for the 1999-2000 celebration. Anyways, I
just mainly watched shows as the lines for attractions were really long (3 and a
half hours supposedly for Test Track, but I'd be willing to bet more like 2-2
and a half). Then at 6 pm disney passed out hats and noise makers, and the music
(the thing I mainly came for) started about 7:45. Once again they had several
areas around Epcot where they played dance music, including a swing band, but I
stayed mainly around Scooter, who was
absolutly awesome once again. Not too much rap, and a bunch of really good
techno. Plus I got to show off a bit during one sequence in a circle of people.
It's very very exhilirating to have 50+ people all focused on you while you
dance. Very very exhausting too, as I finally got home about 3:30 am, and slept
till about 5 pm. Anyways, I had a blast and I'll probably do it again next
year.
Today also marks the first day of the Euro, the new European currency. It covers 12 countries, as $568 billion (in
dollars) became legal tender at the stroke of midnight.

pong on the building, or even express your
love.
