Ball drop in Times Square

Has anyone on the forum witnessed the ball drop in Times Square? I never have bothered to head to Times Square to herald in the New Year as I believe its strictly for tourists.Moreover its always so cold that I don't want to leave the cozy comfort of my home. This year I believe Jersey Shore star Snooki -orange tan et al was supposed to descend along with the ball- Wonder if she would have been a greater attraction than the ball itself.

I went to Times Square on New Year's once when I was 17 years old. But I was too sober to stand the cold and the drunks for very long. I made my way to a party in Williamsburg instead, which was way better.

The ball dropping thing has become beyond uninteresting to me - I don't understand why anyone would torture themselves just to glimpse a few struggling celebrities and a drunken countdown.

I never went to Times Square. Too crowded. I don't see the big deal in the ball dropping either. When midnight comes, my girlfriend and I kiss. Then we go to sleep. That's it.

@uptowngirl That sounds lovely. I much prefer an intimate setting, especially on drinking holidays.

Ugh, I had an allergic reaction to my boyfriend's sheets this New Year's, and spent 00:00 being slathered down in moisturizing/steroid cream while curled up in bed, unable to move my arms or neck. Hope it's not bad auspices for 2011!

I was in Central Park cheering someone on for the 4 mile run they do at midnight. Pretty great, and I'm glad I got to avoid the typical foolishness, and still be part of a big ole party.

@uptowngirl - thanks, I'm recovered now, thanks to a good deal of hydrocortisone and an emergency trip to the Clarins counter at Bergdorfs. Thank goodness for intensive products!
