Somehow I went to bed first during New Year's Eve festivities. And the night before that too. This is what happens when I try to be a before 4pm wake up person. I'm totally useless after 2am. When everyone was rallying for round two to ring in the new year, I crawled off to bed. That never happens. I'm never the first one to bed, never! My entire social standing will crumble if I'm not even around to be that guy who stays up late.

For NYE, we went to a party in our hotel, which was located conveniently downstairs and not too crowded as tickets were sold out way in advance. LMFAO flew in from New York to do the countdown and while I was more than ready to Party Rock -- really, more of a Party Bounce despite all my best efforts and practice -- I don't think I paid them more than three seconds of attention. I was hoping something scandalous would happen in Vegas, or at least I would keep my streak of inappropriate NYE hookups alive, but nothing happened except my friend's almost scuffle right after we got in.

Getting kicked out of a NYE party would have been a drag right? Wait, starting off 2012 happily in bed means I was a drag right? The good news is, I got to repurpose my suit, bow tie, and suspenders from previous weddings. Plus George and Ameer got us frameless glasses from Taiwan that are apparently all the rage over there. Here it's a fashion put-on and borderline offense but across the ocean it's a fashion necessity. Mainly I was just happy everyone was on board with the My Little Pony bubble stickers and toasted (half-heartedly) to "friendship is magic!"

The bad news is the camera I picked up off the ground and took most of our pictures with was given away. Never entrust electronics to drunk people. Even when they are not yours and technically stolen electronics. Now we have a big gap in our photos. Actually that's probably for the best. I mean, nobody knows you went to bed early if there isn't photographic evidence right?
