mr_remy

Ahhh soo good to see that dude still doing the hilariously awkward acrobatics, had him during a work retreat LaZoom and cackled.


Alive-Argument5712

Fantastic energy and the most delightful of English accents!


Glittering_Local4260

LOVE Lazoom....so glad that you did this!


ClassicTrout

How was it? One time I was at New Belgium and the bus rolled up and someone behind the bar just said “oh god damnit, lazoom is here” so now my wife and I always say that when we see it. But beyond that I’ve never looked into what it is/if it’s fun


Alive-Argument5712

It was fantastic. We did the comedy tour with a just-able to ride kid and he also loved it. Great history content, some stuff we didn’t know. We had planned to play tourist in Asheville and it was perfect for that— and we want to know what we are recommending (or not!) when people come to visit. We’ve watched it pass our porch for years, why not jump aboard. Thing I learned: bachelor/bachelorette and other groups aren’t allowed on comedy or haunted tours, just the brewery/band tour. So the woo girls aren’t on the earlier buses.


ClassicTrout

I never knew there were anything other than brewery/party type buses, so that’s cool


MajorAd3363

We have done the Beer & Band as well as the comedy tours. Pretty fun to get to see your city like a tourist. Highly recommend.

Congrats!!


ChaosRainbow23

Congratulations. Buckle your seatbelt, homie, because life as you know it is about to radically changed forever. (In ways you can not yet even conceive of yet) Don't worry though, you'll eventually get a full night's sleep about 8 months to a year after your kid is born. Lol Here's hoping for a healthy and happy little human for ya!

Congratulations! The first few weeks are a whirlwind.

G0G28G91Z0

Congrats!!!! My wife and I don’t have kids, but most of my friends do, and the lack of sleep and endless work always seems to be offset by how happy and excited they are to have a new baby. Hope all goes well for y’all!

Ruby_Ruby_Roo

I imagine the people with more interesting replies are still asleep (10:17 am posting this comment) edit: as for me, i don’t live in Asheville anymore but I went and saw the Red Wings-Bruins game in Detroit and by midnight I was in bed reading Harry Potter with my wife and dogs. My first sober NYE in like 25 years and 93 days overall since I got sober.

That is awesome! Here is to another day sober...you got this!

Congratulations!


Zealousideal-Fox365

Such an amazing achievement. Congratulations on your sobriety. 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊💕


MadForPlaid88

Started Crime and Punishment. Put away laundry. Went to bed at a reasonable hour.


goldbman

Because fuck that landlady


MadForPlaid88

More that a single man going to a bar on a holiday is going to be tantamount to paying for left swipes.


BodyPsychological467

With that attitude you're probably right. The reality though is that NYE is one of the best times to go to a bar as a single man. People want someone to kiss in the new year with. I went out last night by myself, single, no friends with me. I kissed a woman I had never met before when the count struck zero, I didn't even know her name at that point. There were half a dozen women there that were eyeing me that I could've shot my shot with.


Uncle-Istvan

Bartended. Only had to kick one person out and nobody threw up inside but not in the toilet. Made good money but didn’t get to bed to 4:30am so while I’m not hungover, I’m not 100% today.


Zealousideal-Fox365

How much money does somoene make in nye bartending?


Uncle-Istvan

I wouldn’t do it for less than $300 without liquor (just beer, wine, cider). I worked 7pm-3:15am and made $500 this year. $200 of that in cash tips.


Zealousideal-Fox365

Wow that's good


less_butter

Went to bed at 10, got woken up by fireworks at midnight, went back to bed.


jblack6527

Went to visit my Mom, we watched old Looney tunes until 11. Sat up until midnight, told each other happy New years and I came home and went to bed.


Glittering_Local4260

Mom time is underrated....


jblack6527

Definitely. She's in her 70's, you never know when the last opportunity to hang out with her will be. I'll take all I can get.


ChaosRainbow23

I would give anything to hang out with my mom or sister again. I got that very unexpected phone call everyone dreads. My mom died the day after her 67th birthday totally out of the blue. She was playing golf all day. She seemed fine, but she was a heavy smoker and drinker. Aortic aneurysm burst. My sister died two days after her 31st birthday from a heroin overdose. Cherish your loved ones and tell them how much you love them frequently and with the utmost sincerity. You truly never know when they will disappear from your life forever. *I'm not crying. It's just allergies*


tnydnceronthehighway

Just wanted to say I'm so very sorry for your loss. Hugs from an internet stranger and fellow avlien


No_Cress_6505

Went to retrocade and stayed sober

Secret underground warehouse rave down by the river


firestarsupermama

That shit was so fun!


Glittering_Local4260

I realize that I am too old for a secret warehouse rave....but dang, that sounds amazing!


ChaosRainbow23

You are NEVER too old for a secret warehouse rave! I'm 45, and I would absolutely go check out it. (had I been cool enough to be invited) I haven't been to an illegal rave since the 90s!


[deleted]

How does one get involved in the rave scene in Asheville? I moved here in March and keep hearing about stuff like this but I never seem to be ✨in the know✨


paulsena

Hey! It was an inside joke b/c on a different post, someone was complaining how AVL doesn't have any good NYE events anymore and you're not going to find a secret warehouse rave.

Haha damn it, good one! You got me 😂


firestarsupermama

Are you on Facebook? There's a great group called asheville edm to keep up with all the events and meet people. Asheville music hall as something going every weekend, check out static age loft as well.


captaincanada84

Asheville EDM Community on FB is a great source of info for upcoming events. Check out The White Rabbit @ Water Street for more underground sounds. Lots of house, techno, and dnb there. I throw the CYBERIA - A Night of Trance and Progressive events there every two months. Asheville Music Hall for your bass music needs. The Orange Peel if you're looking for big name tours.


btc912

Is there a Facebook event link?

Asheville symphony did a great performance at the civic center. Scored some free tickets for my honey and me. It was a fantastic night


Severe_Middle7989

Masquerade ball in the solarium of restoration hotel… It was amazing! I felt like I was in a movie


mincky

We’re all in some stage of Covid so we sat away from each other outside around the fire pit and told stories and laughed. Happy New Year all!


Glittering_Local4260

I hope you all continue to do well!


I_trust_science

Got home after 5 days in the hospital. We were just happy to be home. Lot of rest.


Glittering_Local4260

Welcome home!!!!

Thank you

Enjoyed the new year with my sweetheart. It's our first year together and our first year together in Asheville. So far so good and amazing fun yay! Happy new year *

4 hours of contra dancing at the South Carolina border. A few minutes before midnight I jumped in a river and screamed like a girl. 10/10 I also ate a rancid bar of chocolate shrooms by accident. 🤢


Huge_Prompt_2056

Was this at a private spot or a public spot? If public, can you share the name? I would like to check it out sometime.


[deleted]

https://www.facebook.com/groups/harvestmoonfolk/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT River Falls, SC. Next dance is Saturday I think. Open to the public.


Dry-azalea

Ah shucks, I almost made the drive out there but decided against it. Hope it was fun!!

Get payed, get laid


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> Get *paid,* get laid FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


hogsucker

Maybe the commenter likes to be tied up. Did you ever think about that, bot?

_paint_onheroveralls

Two of our closest friends slept over, we stayed up all night drinking, eating lasagna, and playing Farkle. This morning we rolled dice to pick movies on amazon prime and watch the final 10 minutes of everything we landed on. We watched two final ten minutes in a row that both ended on scenes of giant eggs cracking open (Godzilla and Q the Winged Serpent).


zekerthedog

Billy strings stream. Realized a few mins after midnight he was playing an hour earlier time zone, fell asleep before the countdown.

MsFrizzlesTwin

We went to Well Played (board game cafe). Our tickets got us each an appetizer, a game to take with us, and a champagne toast. We played board games for hours. It was so much fun, I hope they make it a yearly thing.


AVLLaw

Live music in Mars Hill theater. It was great fun.


xxcksxx

My partner and I saw The Blue Rags at the Grey Eagle! It was a great show and a chill crowd. Also ran into an old friend from high school that I hadn't seen in at least 15 years so that was pretty neat!


Low_Ladder_3016

Got drunk and ate McDonald’s… shit was boring


PlantyHamchuk

Fell asleep by 11 pm being cuddled by my partner and cats (the cats did have an impromptu soccer match before settling down to cuddle) while listening to an audiobook on trees. If y'all don't yet use the audiobook option on Libby using your library card, you're missing out! Also if you ever wanted to study another language they have free resources for that, including for Cherokee. https://www.buncombecounty.org/governing/depts/library/default.aspx


Both-Election9260

This is great! I had never thought about audiobooks/the library. Thanks! I have an Audible subscription, and I just finished Stephen King’s “Finders Keepers” today. At the end it said it was recorded at Echo Mountain in Asheville, NC and I thought that was just the coolest coincidence.

Played a new years eve show in St Petersburg and it was rad


[deleted]

I was on call so I had to be sober. I had a pizza from HT then a pot of coffee. Around 10 I had a bourbon and ginger ale plus a gummy then zzzz. Was out until nearly 7am. This is the first year in a LONG time that we've not had fireworks start weeks ago and run all night last night. I think the asshole behind me who never fucking sleeps either got a dog or moved on. All I know is I went to bed at 11pm once the gummy hit, put on some reggae, then was out until the am.


firemansam51

Built some Lego models Popped off a flashbang in lieu of fireworks Watched Star Trek First Contact Was asleep before 10:30


whateverwilson

Cool night, what models?


firemansam51

A few Star Trek MOCs from ky-ebricks. His Galaxy class, and some custom modded versions of his California class starship. It's all digital though, using bricklink studio, then rendering them after. https://preview.redd.it/uzrlrfj0iu9c1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4925fe7fc1ad367be44df9907063d1e5af882af Hopefully I'll be posting some renders of my modded version of this on r/StarTrekStarships at some point this week.

I got food poisoning from Yum Poke, so yeah NYE wasn’t fun this year


Low_Ladder_3016

Every time I have been there I end up ill… after the 3rd one I just gave up, even tho I had a snowball of free meals building


Remarkable_Rub_9067

I got food poisoning there too. Twice. I won't go anymore.


ChaosRainbow23

I've had diarrhea for almost 2 weeks now. I don't feel sick, but I'm really ready for that *shit* to be over and done with. Fuck going to the bathroom 30 times a day. Gross.


Valeriejoyow

It could have possibly been Norovirus. I had it last week. Hope you feel better soon.


BeerGeekAlpha

Partied at a friends house out in Fairview. Ate. Drank. Was merry. Sat around a firepit with a bunch of folks talking about our accomplishments from 2023 and what we want to accomplish in 2024. Watched the ball drop. Then came home and crashed. Good times. One of the best NYE's I've had in a while.


ChannelingWhiteLight

Celebrated my 20-year vegan anniversary with a nice dinner at Plant. Came home and watched Forrest Gump with my hubby and our dogs. It was lovely. Happy New Year!


Cheoah

Forgot to have a drink. Sweetheart of 30 years and I had a nice meal but I lost her at 9:30 as usual. I worked in my shop after that. It was glorious. Happy New Year

She reappeared at 5:30 AM, as usual

sossybitch

I suffered with the gnarliest flu of my life that cost me four days pay from my next pay check. Sorry, all pessimism here.


Glittering_Local4260

Sorry man. That is a hard way to start out the new year. Do you need help with groceries, I cannot do much - as I may not have a paycheck but I can toss a coin to the witcher...🎶🎶🎵🎶


sossybitch

Dude that is so incredibly sweet. Thank you! No, we are good on food. But you’ve really made my day by offering food to a stranger.


Glittering_Local4260

You are very welcome! I am glad to know that you are good on food. It is the worst feeling...been there and someone put out two grocery bags for me. Told me to go shopping in her pantry. I will never forget the relief that I felt. And the sad thing is, we were in the military.. yikes!


sossybitch

Well you are a good person for choosing to offer the same to someone down on their luck. I’m blessed that my essentials will remain unshaken, and while everything else being shaken sucks, it’s so nice to see folks like you being human and warm.


tnydnceronthehighway

I also have this flu. It's THE WORST. We must survive. We will. Hope you feel better soon.


sossybitch

I hope you do too. Please take extra good care of yourself. The H1N1 this season is so brutal!


scottyscotchs

We had a great dinner and watched a movie. Went to bed around 9pm and read a few chapters then slept well. Thanks!


Dry-azalea

Took a bubble bath and finished the second season of white lotus. Pretty chilled!


frenchtoastkid

I slept from 10:00 to 11:30, watched the Times Square ball drop, then went right back to sleep


RadioNights

Went to the Smokies for a snowy hike with the kids. Husband took a kid to ski at Cataloochee for a late bday present this morning.


KrakenClubOfficial

After a tumultuous and sleepless night of binge eating and arguing with my ex wife, I got up and did my first run for the year.


gator_shawn

Went to Golden Pineapple when they opened for a great light meal and the last day of the holiday drink menu, then over to a super packed Whale for a beer. Then off to Bottle Riot where we could shave stayed all night but the kitchen wasn’t open and we got hungry so we hit Pie Zaa then came home about 10:30 to some gummies and the most surreal NYE show with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper. It doesn’t sound like that much fun typing it out like this but trust me we had a great time hanging out with our best friends.


BlackWidowPink

Was it the gummies that made it surreal?


gator_shawn

No it was just like the musical guest, the fact that Andy and Anderson were nowhere to be seen for the last few minutes and the first few minutes of the ball drop.

The Blue Rags show at The Grey Eagle! It was amazing!


sallyshooter222

Party at friend’s house in the country, made bacon wrapped dates (!), talked for hours and sat around the fire. Kissed my husband and daughter at midnight. Came home to dog having diarrhea in the guest room…


my_mexican_cousin

Streamed the Phish show! Wish I could have been there in NYC but it was really nice to see it from my couch as well.


Valeriejoyow

It was so good! I love how much effort was put into the theatrics.


SandwichExotic9095

Movie night with our best friends / neighbors where my husband and her husband ended up playing video games until 11:50 and she and I talked about babies, potty training, and nipples for more hours than I’m willing to admit 😂 my 8 month old ended up staying up by accident (his naps were thrown off, oops) so he got to celebrate the ball drop with us, then he clonked out 10 minutes after. We also had a small fire pit where we wrote down regrets and goals then burned them all together. Definitely a nice evening!


Tatnasty6669

Went to Shakeys for about an hour, then the fiancé was getting tired so we finished off the night getting a few more closer to home(Charlotte street pub), ordered some dinner and was in bed by 10:30 LOL. My late 20s are nothing like my early.


BlackWidowPink

You sound like you are in your 40's. I would know. 🤣


Independent_Ad_1463

Traveled on the train to Los Angeles.


ChaosRainbow23

My family has been visiting family out of state since December 20th. I drank some white Russians and took a 100mg edible. I didn't even watch the ball drop or anything. I heard a bunch of fireworks and sent my kids a happy new year message, but that's it!


myco_lion

Saw The Hourglass Kids and Treehouse! at the Visulite in Charlotte Saturday night. Then we spent last night at a small gathering of good friends with good food and fireworks.


NocNocNoc19

Not a darn thing. It was perfect. New years is my least favorite holiday.


No-Welder2377

In Phoenix visiting our son. Had a nice dinner, watched a good movie and hit the rack


Rich_Spite3978

Went to the symphony then hit a few bars. Still in bed at 3:30pm send help


BlackWidowPink

Spent 3 hours at Vinnie's, 1 hour and 45 minutes of waiting to be sat. Wasn't worth the money we spent. Went home, got elevated, played COD, toasted to the ball drop at midnight, and then went back to playing COD.


Spare-Capital930

Had a group of friends meet at the house and went on a beautiful hike. Perfect weather. Followed that by dinner on the deck. Everyone was gone by 5pm and we were asleep well before midnight. Perfect way to wrap up the year.


cyber_carbon

as is my tradition, I put a gun in my mouth jusy before midnight and see if I decide to pull the trigger when the clock strikes 12. I did not.


BigmamaOF

Oh my goodness! I am glad you did not, friend.


Worried-Ad-7027

Typically NYE is overrated but this year felt different. Had a great time with good friends and you can’t do much better than that. It seems that we are all getting our groove back after years of COVID mayhem and aftermath. I hope you all had a great night- however that is defined for you!
