I drew a little New Year's baby...
...maybe I'll redraw him in a year as "Old Man 2006".
So I spent my first New Year's in New York. I avoided the tourist-flooded hot spots, like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, etc, in favor for joining a few newfound friends for cocktails at their favorite gay bar, Barracuda. It's quickly becoming my fav drinking hole, as well. It's a Chelsea bar with East Village flavor: non-pretentious, colorful, and a nice mix of types. Little did we know it's not exactly most people's destination for New Year's. Small groups of guys trickled in and out all night, never staying long enough to fill up the bar. But, Jason, Oz, Keith, Jay, and yours truly stayed for the long haul. We refused to club-hop, stubbornly downing drink after drink after drink...after drink...clinked champagne glasses...kissed a stranger...downed a drink...until Jason helped me home in a cab. Immediately, I crouched down in front of my toilet, hugging its cold, smooth, porcelain curves, and praying that I would either throw up or pass out. Instead, I fell asleep on the floor of my bathroom, and awoke sometime in the early morning and moved to my bed.
This morning, I spent the first half of my day recovering from a killer headache. Is it sad that I'll be 30 in February, yet I'm still capable of nights like this? ...naaaaahhhh...Here's to the New Year!!! Bring it'awn!!!

Justin,
I'm 46 and am sadly capable of nights like you just had! When you come up to my office for lunch, I will have my colleagues regale you with stories of my drunken euphoria followed by the nauseous stupor. It's not hard when there are so many bars in NYC. Too many bars. So little time.
New resolution: moderation!
Hey Justin. cool blog. What are you up to these days? I see you're still cranking out amazing art. I really like your illustration style keep it up.
Hey Justin,
I luckily did not need to hug the sweet sweetness that is porcelain to keep the room from spinning but I still wish I could have been there. Sounds like you had a blast. I also enjoyed myself, but I probably would have goteen alot more New Years kisses if I were with you.
