Well, here we are: New Year’s Eve 2011. The last day of what has been a very eventful year. And it’s the best night of the year to dance, drink champagne, dance some more, make out with strangers, drink some more, dance a little more, stumble home, pass out on the couch in your clothes, wake up and vow to give up alcohol as a New Year’s resolution, then go to brunch and order a Bloody Mary.
I am planning to go out on New Year’s Eve this year and dance my tush off, mostly because last year, I spent a sad night stuck at home alone recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery, drinking Cava and watching 200 Cigarettes on a loop. If you’re planning on going out, too, you can use this ’80s Dance Mix as your soundtrack for getting ready. And if you’re planning on staying home, consider me the DJ for your living room New Year’s Eve dance party.
This mix is extra long and tells a story that I hope you’ll find humorous. Will it be YOUR New Year’s Eve story? Only time — and alcohol consumption — will tell.
Have fun, dance your asses off, and be safe tonight!
