LET'S POP OUR CORKS TOGETHER!!!

New Year's Eve is arguably the most significant concert going night of the year. Things just feel WAY more momentous packed into a club or theatre with sound blasting, lights flashing and folks reveling in a way they probably don't allow themselves the rest of the year. We each choose carefully where we'll stand when that infamous 10-second countdown occurs, thinking hard about who we want at our elbow and what soundtrack we want to usher us into a brand new year. It's when a band's loyal tribe convenes, expecting greatness from their beloveds and usually getting it. Where most of us no longer wait up for Santa or the Easter Bunny, there comes a childlike kick inside for New Year's Eve, where we mull over the endings of things and welcome in the fresh start a new calendar offers.

JamBase would like to know what your plans are for this New Year's Eve and perhaps some memories of good times past. We're going to let this open conversation roll on old school style right below. We look forward to hearing what you have to say, and moreover, we wish you the brightest, most bountiful New Year you've ever known. We're about due aren't we?
