What were you doing on 31st December 1999?

I was at home with my 3 week old child.

I was at a winter camp in northern Michigan. Its a place dear to my heart and the only place I wanted to be if people freaked out because of Y2K.

i had to spend part of the day at work, and then it was such a non-event that after midnight east coast time came and went without incident, they sent a bunch of us home so i went to a friend of mine's house and hung out.

I worked night shift until 07h00, went to bed, got up at 16h00, got dressed, went to friends to eat and drink, went to a party at about 22h30 and there I stayed until about 07h00 on January 1st.

I was getting ready to dj at a new year party. I was also on call as emergency backup at work, so I made a few calls to check that everything was OK and put my mind at rest.

we hosted a big-ass party

I was pretending the world was going to end if we didn't figure out how to save it. We didn't and it did.

i was sleeping. i did not think the world was ending. and if it was, there was nothing i could do about it. and i didn't really care if the computers crashed.

I woke up, and hung out with some friends for the day, had dinner with my family, and then watched TV at night mocking the pathetic celebration my dumb city put on.

I was camping on the peak of the holy mountain.

My sister, her husband, and I went to a church camp.

I was the only place I could have imagined spending New Years eve.
With my gurls.

I agreed to move away from a highly populated area , the SF bay area to move to a town of less than 10,000 in Oregon in prep for Y2K

Started drinking in the afternoon and got wasted.

I was sitting on the roof of a hotel in Sydney watching the fireworks.
Before that I was hanging around at a friends house, eating Thai food, shopping and doing all sorts of other things that I don't really remember.

In Sydney, Australia

I was at home/work, then I went to a party at my friends' house.

I was with my sissy!!!

I was conducting a careful study of the differences between Beluga and Osetra caviar.

A massive amount of cocaine

I was volunteering in case an emergency did arrive, and was very disappointed when nothing happened.

No flaming death? Damn, wish a few thousand people had died to give people something to do...

Oy, this one I'd like to forget. As midnight neared on 12/31/99, I was at a sex party, being intimate with someone I'd never met prior to that night, to distract myself from a couple of unrequited love interests. It didn't help. I very rarely regret sex afterwards, but that time I did.

work work work

I was also barfing.

I was at church

I was at a church lock-in with my best friend.

Not much...we were visiting my mom in Georgia. We spent part of the night visiting her neighbors. The husband was trying to kill a squirrel that was living in his roof. (Don't ask.) We then went back to the cabin we were staying in. We were asleep before midnight--it was very mellow as I was 5 months pregnant at the time.

A church lock-in?

Is that like a love-in

with...chains?

at our church we have a youth group for kids ages 13-20...besides doing worship on Sundays separate from the adults we also get together to do stuff. Like go to camp for a week during the summer with all of us, go out to movies...things like that. We had a "lock-in" on new years which was like a sleep over with everybody there...your kept inside the church overnite with food,drinks,games,all sorts of recreational things...it actually wasn't all that bad.

nope...it's a church you know with bans against PDA (public displays of affection)...so nothing like that occured...even though I think that would have been fun if they were a little leniant toward letting us doing those things >:)

Sounds like a good thing for youths to do on the weekend...as opposed to drive bys and prostitution

yes...and unfortunately thats what a lot of teens get into...so at least they are doing something worthwhile rather then getting in trouble as most of the foolish ones tend to do.

Was it because of Y2K? or was it just a New Year's thing?

It was just a New Years thing...just to celebrate

I don't remember, probably bummed that my s/o was still in jail

Oh YA! I was moshing down town Tempe

My husband and I were with 2 other couples (all newlyweds)joking about choosing separate rooms to go have sex in at midnight. What's with sex on new years anyway?

I stayed home. At midnight I was playing Civilization 2 on my laptop computer in front of the TV.

I don't remember. I don't think I was doing anything more exciting than on any other day that December.
