Happy New Year!!!!

So, we survived the end of the world and stuff! Figured I'd check in w/ those loyal souls who occasionally pop by here to monitor my infrequent ramblings. All in all, I regard it as a success that we've made it through a contentious election, disasters natural and man-made, and the end of the Fifth World/Christmapocalyse without tearing ourselves apart!

IGBC had a great New Year's Eve party, set in an amazingly detailed recreation of the legendary real-life Studio 54 (complete w/ secret VIP lounge and secret rubber naughty room, heh. Not that anyone could indulge in much naughtiness as we had the sim packed to the point of a sim crash. All in all, a great time was had by everyone, and I was proud to be a part of it. Cooper Janus handled the first half of the party, and I picked up just before the Central time zone's turning and kept the party rolling for another hour after the West Coast had broken through to 2013. I was most impressed by the stamina of our dancers AlexBrandon and Talen who hung in there through multiple time zones. Had lots of megasploders as well, thanks to the generosity of owner Brent Zulaman.

Happy New Year to everyone, and thanks to all of you who came by to party with us at IGBC! You guys are the reason that club is so darn fun to work. Here's to you, and here's to all of us in hopes that we'll approach the coming year with optimism and an acceptance of one another as we are, and work together to build a better world instead of tearing each other apart (as seemed to be the theme of 2012).
