taken at times square right before the sparkling, traditional crystal ball descended... susie and i were standing on the 7th ave between 51st and 52nd street for about 5 hours just to get a brief glimpse of a 15 second countdown ball drop. is it worth the wait you ask... well, i'd say it'll be worth the wait if i had brought a portable grill along with some hot chocolate and s'mores. but then who couldn't resist in celebrating nye's with many crazy, loud revelers in the times square for once?
