So, how did you spend your NYE 2005?
For me it was getting hammered in a Russian Restaurant in Philly until 6AM, witnessing 3 rounds of a fight between Russian-speaking russians, as americans call us) and Georgian-speaking russians (again, as americans call us).
No one knows what the fight was all about, all I know is that it was like bunch of russians swinging at georgians - no clear winner. Though I did manage to stop one of my aquantances from pulling out his gun from his trunk by locking his car keys (by accident or divine intervention) in the trunk. Well, parts of the keys were inside and some were outside - which was hillarious (to me). Dude couldn't get his gun and spent an hour trying to retreive his house key, so he could have someone drive him to get the spare key. Oh, and police was camped out from 4AM (about 30 mins after fight started and eventually broke up) until closing.
Otherwise, decent night. Highlight of the evening: Seeing about 200 drunken russians over 40 dancing to "As the Rush Comes" - AVB remix. Yes, we do spice it up - so among the traditional "russian" folk and jewish folk songs, we get our share of DJ Sammy's "Summer's gone", Mel C's "I turn to you" and yes... "As the Rush Comes".
So here I am at 1pm, nursing a major hang over from having downed 3/4 bottle of Cognac (we do cognac shots, chased by lemon - just like tequila - us, crazy "russkies") and listening to some soothing trance.
And soon, I'm off to see "Nemo on Ice" with my kid and wife... 
So, how was yours NYE?
