New Year's Eve and early morning New Years Day was interesting. I met a large number of folks from Louisana in town for the Louisana State Univeristy versus University of Texas game in the Cotton Bowl. We were subjected to semi-hourly chants of "LSU, LSU!" and LSU fans/students in purple and gold clothes, with LSU stickers on their cheeks. One guy I spoke to as I stood in line waiting to get in was obviously already drunk. He spoke of trying hard to meet women on New Year's Eve and giving "210 percent." He also told the occasional passing woman that he wanted to see her "nekkid". Charming. But I was equally as charming - I implored strange women to kiss me at midnight, and I was sober. You see I just wanted the complete "New Years" experience. Next year I am going to Times Square.
