My brother's fiance is planning to do a Russian-style New Year's.
From what I recall of the one Russian-hosted New Year's I've attended - borscht and vodka. LOTS of vodka. So much vodka.
If I may extrapolate from my time in a former Soviet republic, this is
every single holiday. Ever.
And lots of the regular days as well.

Let 'em try and deny it.
Also jealous of the Scola and the SF NYE party. Need to uh, win the lottery for all the trips I want to take.
Y'all are reminding me that I need to figure out what I'm doing NYE. My usual partner in crime will be out of town.
I arrive (late) on Friday, Dec 28 (actualy, early the next morning), and I leave on Jan 1, and I'm staying at the Stanyan Park Hotel.
I now have a room at the Stanyan Park hotel on New Year's eve as well.
This is just a crazy amount of awesome. We can see your hotel from our bedroom window!

It's actually what I was thinking about saying. But I am only half-Russian.
Brunch or something with Tom the weekend before NYE sounds good to me! I think the last train home is at some ridiculously early time like 9:30 and driving on NYE is NOT something I want to do, so I probably wouldn't be up for anything on the actual holiday...

This means that hotel guests can see in your bedroom window!

Ha ha! They wish. They can see the top story of our building and nothing more, unless they have Superman-like eyesight.
And, conversely, for all I know all the guests at the Stanyan Park spends all night every night doing naked backflips in front of their windows. Even if I could find my glasses, I'd never be able to tell.
But I can still totally see
the building
from our place. The Lee and Scola Par-tay Hotel!11!!
so, I don't have any plans for NYE . . .
You are so in. It'll be in Rosslyn. Details to follow.

See, that's what scares me. That's pretty much normal business day in Moscow. What do they do to make it special??? How much more vodka can you have?

woo! I hope that you didn't get hit when I dropped that hint :)
As if. I just haven't got it together to actually plan before now.
