New Years Eve 2014 starting to rev up...

As has become a personal tradition I have decided yet again to hang out Downtown for New Years. Its safer for me since I live a 5 minute walk to most of my favorite lounges. So with that said here are a few parties to get ready for in Downtown thus far. I am still scoping out other parties in and around the area to post. So for now please take a look at these potential fete's to bring in 2014!
