Last night Mr. P took me downtown to celebrate the New Year. Spokane has a big party every New Year's Eve called "First Night" where all the local artists come out to give live demonstrations and sell their wares. It is a "dry" event-but conveniently there are a bazillion bars around to keep one well lubricated!


Anyhow, we went and watched some of the artists and the snowboard show. As we crossed the street to go to the Irish pub, there was a GIANT vulture just standing there trying to keep warm. He was really creepy- so B took my picture with him. A few minutes after that there was a pretty cool fireworks display- BOOM BOOM!

We went to eat at a sushi place called RAW. Brian's sister Cori and her husband Daro gave us a gift certificate for Christmas and we decided to celebrate the new year with their raw fish gift. It was a lovely dinner until a male patron at the table across from us PUKED VERY LOUDLY AND DRAMATICALLY on the restaurant's floor- right in front of me!!! I was so grossed out I cancelled our second order of rainbow rolls and we booked out of there before I lost my dinner too!
We celebrated midnight dancing close in our living room to Teddy Pendgrass- so romantic- sigh-
I love Brian, he is such wonderful company, and he has made my holiday season (and my life!) so fun!

First off- I love that green jacket!!
Dan and I went to "First Night" in Boise a few years ago. It was fun- the artists, a carriage ride... but it was SO cold we couldn't stay out too long. Glad you had fun and was able to dance in the new year.
