This post took forever to write because it’s got shitloas of NYE parties inside. Some of these sell tickets in advance and tickets run out and stuff, so better get buying if you want to guarantee getting in. The party post on Wed might feature more NYE parties, if anything else interesting pops up in the meantime. Or it might not. We’ll see.
