Every year we are always wondering what to do on New Year's Eve. The past few years, we (or just Nicholas) have had to fly out on New Year's Day, so we haven't been too keen on partying too hard the night before. This year, we had no New Year's flights, so again came the question, "What should we do?"
Thank you friends who like to plan things! Some of my friends wanted to go down to 6th street in Austin. I had never been to 6th street for New Year's before, so we decided to go for it. Of course, you have to pay a cover price to get in that is more expensive because it is a special night. Actually, I am rather opposed to paying a cover to get into a bar/club. Ever since I turned 21, I think it's pretty silly. Besides, most places downtown that let people under 21 in are filled with college freshman/sophomores, and those days are long gone for me.
So, my friend, Ashley, did some research and found a place everyone wanted to go that wasn't half as expensive as our wedding. We purchased tickets in advance, although their advanced ticket purchase tracking system left a little to be desired. Namely, it was one person who did not follow through with notifying everyone that they actually had tickets. Fortunately, we all got our tickets in time to party.
We had general admission tickets, which meant we had to stand up. We stayed on the terrace level, looking at the beauty of downtown. We were high enough up that we could see the fireworks over Lady Bird Lake at midnight, which was really nice. We had a lot of fun dancing and people watching. I especially enjoyed watching the people in the reserved seats who had spent a whole lot more money than we did.
