I'll just come out and say it: please don't let Feaver ring in the midnight celebrations. Last year he spent the run-up to midnight telling one of his rambling stories to the three or four people actually interested in listening to him and missed the midnight countdown by almost six minutes. It was a total anti-climactic buzzkill, awful. The next day Laurie and I agreed it was the most unsatisfying NYE we'd had in a long long time. ah, you know what? I'm pretty sure I'll be there and it'll be a beautiful thing to ring in the New Year with some great people at a great bar with some great music, Doug included. That's more than enough for me. I don't really mean to rag on Doug specifically. I've seen him more times than I could count and I know what he can do, and it is very fine.
