Whats going on for New Years Eve people?  As for me, I think Im going to check out this Paradiso celebration at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on the 31st.  I didn't do much last year other than go on a road trip to the bay area and count down to the new year with some strippers =X...So this year I think ya'll should come join me as I count down to 2004 in style at this legendary hotel .  Better get your tickets quick though because the $65 dollar presale tix ended last week so from now up until Dec 14th or so, its $85 and $100 there after.  Luckily for me, my friend can still hook me with a couple tickets for $65 so Im gonna be sure to get mine ASAP.
