December 31, 2003 #
Muchas thankias to Chris Gage for guest-editing this site the past week while I served as midwife and general health practitioner through the concluding days of my sister-in-law's pregnancy. All that gizzunk aside, Chris did a fantastic job, except for yesterday. Not only did he lay waste to this fertile ground with buzz killing best-of/year-end bile but he also managed to exterminate everyone in the process. (Actually, I liked that part.) He was clearly over-qualified for the task. I had to void his contract out of fear I would become the next Wally Pip, or maybe even Elizabeth Spiers. I am now forced to join the ranks and hop on what I am convinced will be 2004's hottest online trend: stunt-blogging. I checked with the proper authorities, I'm gonna write about urine. But first, I close out the year with a look at when December 31st fades into the 32nd. (Sorry Randy, I couldn't wait for Godo either.) Ghosts and Gasps of New Year's Eve Past  Salute '99 - Cpt. Bob Polaroid. Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices respectfully honors our New Year just moments after December 31, 1998 had expired at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ.  Rockin' The Reef. I spent the highly-anticipated Millenium New Year's in an Olympia, WA basement with Jeff Stern, Wayne Feldman, Mike Robb, and keyboards (not pictured). The less anticipated New Year's Day was spent in a Rite Aid pharmacy waiting area across from Justin Trosper of Unwound. [The night of 12/31/00 into 01/01/01 was briefly passed in Tribeca but sucked so bad that all evidence has been destroyed.]  El Blanco Trash. Guillermo cooking dinner for our New Year's feast in Puerto Natales, Chile. He looked even more relaxed double-fisting Bud Lights in a nightclub at 3am. December 31, 2001.  911 is a joke. Jessi Harrington of Baltimore hides beneath Josh Levine's counter on Manhattan's Lower East Side for reasons unknown but probably much-warranted. December 31, 2002.
