<p>Hi!  </p>
<p>I'm having a party. I always have a NYE party. Even when I ditch my<br />
birthday. And fail to schedule a housewarming party. But I'm Not<br />
Skipping NYE.</p>
<p>It's the standard deal:</p>
<p>  23 Ibbetson St, Somerville MA (+1 617 319 5823)</p>
<p>  8pm until early 2005. (Our record for last arrival is sometime<br />
  around sunrise.)</p>
<p>  Some food and alcohol (and non-alcoholic beverages) will be here for<br />
  you, but the bar could use some stocking.  More food and drink<br />
  certainly won't be refused.</p>
<p>You're welcome to bring SOs and roomates, etc with you, but if you're<br />
bringing your hockey team or a crowd of hipsters you met on the T with<br />
you, run it by me first, so I can be ready for them.</p>
<p>Crash space is available, but a tad limited. It's worth reserving now if<br />
you think you might like something soft to sleep on.</p>
<p>RSVPs by email are encouraged, but I'm not about to kick you out if you<br />
fail to tell me you're coming. </p>
<p>You should be aware that I've moved since last year, so I won't be able<br />
to offer the fabulous Basement Screen to watch the ball descend at<br />
midnight, but I've got a projector and at least a few white walls, so I<br />
suspect we'll be able to work something out. I don't have nearly so many<br />
housemates as I used to, so if you feel like showing up a bit early to<br />
help out, your help certainly won't be refused.</p>
<p>23 Ibbetson St is located about 10 minutes walk from the Porter Sq. T<br />
stop.  Take a right turn out of the main exit from Porter station.<br />
That'll put you on Somerville Ave.  Follow Somerville Ave. past the<br />
Starbucks and the intersection with Elm St.   On your right, you'll see<br />
a Car wash.  Ibbetson St is across from the "self-serve" part of the car<br />
wash.  You'll see "Pet Spa" (666 PETS) on the corner of Ibbetson St.<br />
We're number 23. It's a grey house on the left with a pine tree in the<br />
front "yard".</p>
