It's been 14 years since we have last hosted a
New Year's Eve Party. 

What happened at the Party?

The people who Chong invited were here (for the most part) by 6:45pm.
The people who I invited never showed up.
I waited until 9:30pm and still NO ONE showed up.
Only ONE person sent and email stating they wouldn't be here
Only ONE other person sent an email stating they would be here, but didn't show up.

Chong's friends were having a great time. 
I spent some time outside hoping someone I invited would show up.

However, at 10pm our neighbors Rob and Liz showed up wondering where
all my friends were.  Our other neighbors Kevin and Katie came over at about 10:30.
Two other couples came by, one a relative and the other a friend of Rob and Liz.
 

Chong and her friends had a surpise birthday tribute for me.

We had a FANTASTIC TIME.  We listened to loud music and partied
until 1:30am.  It was the most fun I've had in my garage.
The people who showed up also had a great time.
It turned out really well.
(Those who DIDN'T show could not have had a better time then we did)
