Happy New Years people. I know there is a lot of talk about wearing red underwear and turning them inside out at midnight. Don’t ask me, just do it!

(I really have no clue why you do this, maybe you folks could enlighten me)

Be safe, drink plenty, ride a taxi and have fun!

    You do it for good luck, duh! (I was just told to do it by a friend, she is crazy, but it can’t hurt to try right?) I bought my red panties yesterday…they are waitin to be turned!

    Are red boxers ok? Or do I need to take a trip down to Victoria’s Secret? And do they have to be completely red, or would mostly red be ok (I’m willing to settle for mostly good luck, if that matters)?

    It’s pretty hard to turn nothing inside out…

    Where did you find that picture of me from last year? According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, in some countries you wear red underwear to bring you love, and yellow to bring money. Yellow is also worn for luck in some countries.

    Yellow?! I want money! I already bought my red ones :(
    HD pretty sure red boxers will do the trick, but I have to say now I have a funny picture of a guy in red Victoria Secret panties!

    Hahahaha…
    “If the first person to cross the threshold of a house after midnight on New Years is a dark-haird man and he carries a shovel full of coal, then a year of good luck will follow.”

    “Squint-eyed, flat-footed, or red-haired men bring bad luck If they are first-footers, and so does a woman. But a man with a high instep, or one who comes on a horse, is considered particularly lucky.”

    I am sooo doing this one (it will go nicely with my red panties):

    “To dance in the open air, especially round a tree, on New Year’s Day is declared to ensure luck in love and prosperity and freedom from ill health during the coming twelve months.”

    Thanks for the laugh (twice) HD!

    if you are talking about, then doing it, switching underware, there’s going to be lots of opportunity for conversation to drift towards “hooking up”

    Does anybody know what going on with Horse & Hound Gastropub “The Acme Swing Manufacturing Company” tonight? The recording on the phone says they are closed but it’s listed as a SPCA benefit show on c-ville.com and on the band’s website. So if you know that answer, how much does it cost?

    don’t know but straight punch to the crotch is playing at zinc

    speaking of zinc, any idea when birdlips is going on tonight?

  11. 31 Dec 2007 at 2:15 pm11frenchy said:

    should around 11pm

    I hope Frenchy and friends can make it to The Nook, we’re not closing until 8pm on January 1st.

    cool maybe a late late night snack is in order

    Where is everyone today?

    H-D drivin around town in a retail-frenzy looking for underwear….Stu we’ll see you after midnight. We are hitting the Nook when the snack attack hits

    And Thor there is some underlying (no pun) meaning to the whole underwear obsession, mind you a certain incident got instigated by someone keeping track of underwear, I shall wear mine for luck as well as in rememberance of the Villains we “lost” in 2007.

    i’m taking off for DC - i expect to hear some good stories on the morrow. happy and safe new year, everyone!

    and yes, i am wearing a red thong. it may not count as panties, but it’s the closest i can get. i’ll let you know how it goes (or is that comes? okay, i’m leaving now…).

    i’m taking off for DC

    We just got back from DC where we saw The Word and Greyboy Allstars. It was kind of nice to have the 9:30 Club full of people who really love music instead of amateurs out to get wrecked (we’ve seen Greyboy on NYE in the past). Walking to our hotel past kids standing in line for clubs in Dupont always makes me laugh…I haven’t waited in line for a bar for quite some time!

    Tonight, we’re headed to Alligator’s Hurricane Party. It’s going to be nice to ring in the new year in a relaxed, drama-free environment. The catering is going to be by C&O, which should be interesting…

    Happy New Year, Villains!

    Happy New Year my dear Villains….i heart you all. Look for me tonight, I will be the one with the red panties. Bowchickabowbow…..

    PARTY LIVEBLOGGING: I confirm that oy gives questionable poker advice.

    WE’RE PLAYING STRIP POKER AND I’M TOTALLY NAKED EXCEPT FOR THE RED UNDERWEAR

    Well, he’s not totally naked. But the red underwear are definitely stylin’!

    My God woman put on on some clothes

  31. 01 Jan 2008 at 12:13 am31ThatGrrl said:

    TwoOfFour just won strip poker! Well, in fairness, we didn’t need the clothes.

  32. 01 Jan 2008 at 12:22 am32TwoOFour said:

    Ohh stop it, since I won, obviously I am not naked, but boy don’t come to ridge street, ’cause everyone else are….

  33. 01 Jan 2008 at 12:25 am33hipster-doofus said:

    I’m at ridge street and i can vouch for that, bitches!

    I think I saw a lotus begin to open up tonight for 2008. I hope the petals on the inside are as beautiful as the ones on the outside. Thanks to all the villains that popped in to say hey this evening, meant a lot to me, I was strugglin…

    happy new year all!

    HELP … I’m locked in the bathroom of 216

  37. 01 Jan 2008 at 9:08 am37TwoOFour said:

    Hey where did you all go?….I thought you were coming back, I am still here….

  38. 01 Jan 2008 at 10:10 am38Stanley said:

    Thanks for the party, TwoOFour. That was fun, although apparently I left before it became truly traumatic.

  39. 01 Jan 2008 at 10:33 am39Donk said:

    Yep. Thanks for having us, TwoOFour. I’ll try to swing by this afternoon to grab my cooler.

  40. 01 Jan 2008 at 11:11 am40ThatGrrl said:

    Did anyone ever let Silmo out? Could make for an interesting morning, for him.

    TwoOfFour, thanks for letting us invade your office space! Awesome party. And Stu, thanks for the late night eats. Hope everyone is getting some sleep, today. Wonder why I woke up with my underwear inside out…

    Happy New Year!
    Thank you 2o4, and everyone else in attendance. Perhaps this will become a villain tradition?
    Silmo, d’you make it home alright? I’m worried about Donk, too. Slippery 216 floor (don’t want to know what it was that made it slippery…) and crutches are not a good combination.

  42. 01 Jan 2008 at 1:30 pm42Donk said:

    I must’ve managed the crutches pretty well. Though details are admittedly spotty, I don’t recall taking any spills. I’m sure there are some that occurred during the ‘missing time’, but I don’t seem any worse for the wear today. I had a blast either way. Now I’m just fending off a sweet headache and hoping for the motivation to get off of the sofa and fire up the grill.

    Happy New Year!

  43. 01 Jan 2008 at 3:26 pm43TwoOFour said:

    THANK YOU EVERYONE, for making the party and for making my NYE super sweet this time around. I will be on office to return the lost and found underwear, beer and coolers from 8AM tomorrow Wednesday. I really luv’ya’ll.

  44. 01 Jan 2008 at 3:29 pm44oy said:

    Thank you for hosting - perhaps poker at 204 could become a semi regular thing.

  45. 01 Jan 2008 at 3:30 pm45TwoOFour said:

    Perhaps indeed, I was just going to ask if anyone could account for you my dear.

  46. 01 Jan 2008 at 3:42 pm46oy said:

    I’m alive - just got up (well, just transferred from bed to couch).

  47. 01 Jan 2008 at 6:10 pm47Silmo Syrup said:

    Thank you 2o4. Last night was great. I second Oy, let’s play poker. Happy new year everone

  48. 01 Jan 2008 at 6:28 pm48Silmo Syrup said:

    2o4 - I’ll be by tomorrow to pick up my brain. (At least I hope that’s where I left it. God forbid I it dislodged itself at 216.)
