I agree' date=' but when it's "just another excuse to party" for so, so many people, it becomes rife with overcrowding and price gouging, as far as it goes as a night out. That said, I've always had great luck with lower-key NYEs or house parties, so I've never felt the need to hit the town. [/quote'] I agree about the price gouging, I just think it's cool that everyone's out on the same night, more or less.
