New Years Day was work-filled during the morning and afternoon up until 4pm, when I headed downtown to meet a friend of mine and his girlfriend to watch the Rose Bowl. It was a relatively boring game overall, and though Wisconsin kept things much closer than expected, there weren't too many moments of genuine excitement that we would actually win the game. A little Roman Candle pizza helped maintain a little delicious excitement at least.
Afterwards, we played a little Dr. Mario 64 (which I got last place literally every time except for once), and then my friend and I headed out for a New Years bar hop. It was surprisingly a ghost town downtown, perhaps due to a combination of the very cold weather and the Badgers losing their third straight Rose Bowl. But we stopped in to the Irish Pub, then wandered over to a closed Karaoke Kid, then to Whiskey Priest, a new place in the douche-y undergrad part of downtown but that is spacious and full of games (we played pool, then basketball, then big buck hunter HD) and even has a stage, which isn't something many bars have in Madison. Finally, on our way back we passed the new Paul's Club, now a block closer to the Capitol, which thankfully took with it their awesome bar-spanning tree. An entertainingly drunk girl who was out partying all night long made this final stop a great capstone to the night.
That was my big night out, now back to work for the next four months.
