New Years 06-07, "First Night"
I'm going to attempt to do a Mike style post, with lots of pictures and all. To introduce, Boston puts on this "First Night" thing every New Year's. It lasts all New Year's Eve and New Year's day, with art openings, concerts, discounts all around, tourist attractions, etc. So here's what we did:
we saw PENGUINS, fishies, seals, etc. at
the New England Aquarium, which is a pretty tight building right next to the North End on the Harbor (pronounced, of course, Hah-buhr).
We saw this building that was important for reasons other than looking cool and shaking whenever a train passed under it. I think the "Boston Massacre" occurred just outside of it, and the Dec. of Indep. was first read to Boston on its balcony.
We saw awesome ice sculptures in progress in
Copley square, which superimposes an old ass Episcopal church on a tight-ass glass skyscraper.
After
Taking the T back to our place (New year's Eve still), we
had a celebratory hookah and
Played fuck the dealer.
We then proceeded to Berklee Performance Center where we saw a bad-ass
old-school funk/soul band play some amazing music (that the crowd totally didn't get). I think they were called the Holmes Brothers.
Next, we attempted to find an open bar for about 52 seconds before deciding to just move on to the next concert at Hynes Convention Center, which happens to be our T stop.
The band was an amazing African band (Senegalese if I remember correctly)
I can't remember the name of the band, but they were awesome, and all the aged hippies danced fervently.
Then we
took the T downtown to
see the finished ice sculptures, which also rocked.
we then jumped again on the
T and went to sleep.
We did a lot of stuff the next day too... But I don't feel like writing anymore. So, that's our New Year's eve!
