Midnight Toast. I don’t know how I got the crappy glass and everyone else got a fancy glass. Oh well, tastes the same!

The best photo of the whole night. Don’t ask me what’s going on!

Dallas’s friend Josh is one of the owners of Frasca, just down Roscoe from Jen and Chad’s. For New Years Eve they closed at 10 p.m. and Josh hosted a private party, so we left Jen & Chad’s party and headed over to Frasca. The party was $60 for all you could drink and eat from 10 p.m. – 2 a.m. Not too bad of a deal. We had a fun time ringing in the new year!

Halloween House Party

I wasn’t going to do anything this year for Halloween because I knew that I had to go to Wisconsin that weekend to work on our wedding invitations. Also, I don’t usually do much for Halloween. It’s not really my thing. So, I got invited to a few parties and I turned them down. It figures then that Dallas came home Thursday night all excited to go to a friend’s Halloween party! When he showed me the emailled invitation it read as though the party was really just a pre-party and that they’d be going out to bars or other places later on. I bought a witch hat and figured I’d pre-party and when everyone left I’d go home at a nice and early time. Of course, everyone was still pre-partying at midnight when I hit a wall and had to leave! I had fun, but, luckily I was not drinking because we drove so I was not hungover the next day and we got all of the wedding invitation stuff done.

Around 10 p.m. we left Jen & Chad’s party and headed down to Wicker Park where Todd was hosting a party. This was a bit more of a traditional New Years Eve party, meaning there was a lot of drinking & loud music. I don’t see these friends of Dallas’s very often because they mostly golf and play basketball and have poker nights, so it was nice to visit with them. We rang in the new year, played a couple intense games of Left, Right, Center and hung out for a few more hours. Fun fun!
