How I planned on ringing in a new year was always such an easy proposition: go to a bar and party like it's <insert year here> well into New Year's Day morning.

Now? Dealing with over-crowded bars doesn't sound as appealing. Plus, my pregnant wife works until 10:30 p.m. and certainly won't want to come hang out with me on a bar stool until midnight.

If I do head out, I'll almost certainly stop down to the Mississippi Moon Bar inside the Diamond Jo Casino for their NYE party. They're having Dueling Pianos, champagne toast and balloon drop at midnight and Y105's Chris Farber will be down there! The best part about the Moon Bar is it's so big that you don't have to worry about over-crowding.

It goes without typing, but I'll do it anyway...DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! It's always a struggle to find a cab at the end of the night, but waiting an extra 10 minutes beats an OWI.
