Going to the ball drop. This year. Anything I should know?
>>2745882DON"T GO TO THE TIMES SQUARE BALL DROP! Do you know with hundreds of thousands of people or whatever blocking up every road and store that you will literally have to wear diapers and shit and piss on yourself in adult diapers? Are you that retarded that you would want to be a crushing crowd of drunk idiots that bad? Speaking of: I'm hoping I have off work so I can go near to Times Square as I can get without a crushing crowd(I live in Northern NJ) and massively entertain myself and laugh as I sell adult diapers to retards like you for $10 a piece! It would be so hilarious and profitable as people literally admit that they are willing to overpay to shit themselves.
>>2745897So what you're saying is, OP really...dropped the ball.
>>2745897Obese Amerisharts are disgusting. Meanwhile old Asian ladies take 12 hour flights without a single trip to the bathroom, kek
The Countdown 2025 Vientiane festival is not far from my hostel. I like being in a Lao crowd, they know how to have a good time while also showing consideration for others. Oh, and the price of a beer at the concert? 30K kip or less than $1.50
I got stuck in a crowd for 2 hours in Barcelona last year.No way in hell I take the risk again to get crushed for some gay ass drone show.

I really really dont give a shit. I think I'll take a break from my daily bird watching. I saw a beautiful plump tailed whistlesucker earlier so I'm not even making good on that. She was about 24 yards away, which was a fine deal and had no oblong cylindrical rubber markings. I thought about going to popular bars, or clubs, or an asian sky bar, but I'll walk around in the gutter a bit later to help my meal digest and see if any bats are out then retire early to my room with the plentiful and eager on-call masseuses. I saw them setting up multiple (7+) stages and bands along the main drag of this city earlier today, but it's not worth going outside really. What a stupid holiday. No, I don't want to drink. It gives me heartburn.
>>27460132017 - Berlin, Germany2020 - Sydney, Australia2025 - Amsterdam, the Netherlandsrest, from 2012 or so,Ankara, Turkey, with the gang from highschool. this one buddy of mine connected with artists and metal bands and shit so last year it was 50+ people wild ass partyI heard they are tuning it down this year tho
>>2746007They do, but they don't know how to lock the door.>mfw I opened a lavatory door because the light was green, only to find a shitting chink granny
>>27460132018 - Guraidhoo, Maldives2020 - Hawaii, USA2023 - Salzburg, AustriaI only have a handful of international celebrations under my belt because I normally don't travel around that time.My most favorite was Salzburg, because it wasn't missing anything. There was food, drinks, live music, fireworks, and community. For that moment, I was glad to be around people. Normally I'm a misanthropic piece of shit, but everyone was having a good time there.My second favorite by process of elimination was Guraidhoo. There were no drinks (muslim country and I wasn't staying in a resort), the food was very basic (grilled fish, spaghetti, fries), no fireworks, and the music was generic 2017 pop music (remember Despacito?). But the celebration being on a beachfront property helped.My least favorite was Hawaii, but only due to circumstance. I was actually on a plane headed back home on the night of the 31st, and we were still sitting on the tarmac. As the clock approached midnight, the flight attendant counted down the last 10 seconds, and at the end of it, there were only a few unenthusiastic claps.
>>2745882It’s going to rain in NYC. Definitely cancel plans to wait outside like a retard in hours of cold rain. I wonder how many tens of thousands of retards will still bring their diapers and go to Times Square?
>>2745897>>2746142OP here. It was Kino.My method:>EatingI ate an absurd amount of food on December 30th so I wasn't hungry at all during the day>DrinkingI went hard on December 30 as well and only had 1/4 of a water bottle on the day. However, I did bring a water bottle for emergencies since I was looking at a few posts from people who claimed they nearly fainted>ClothingTwo jackets, pants, and shorts to have maximum pockets>Arrival10:20 am. Either go big or go home.>DevicesMy phone, my tablet, 2 charger banks, 2 hand warmers>BathroomI went to one a few blocks nearby and started at 10:05am. I held it in for 15 hours 40 minutes.>CrowdThe initial line waiting for the start was around 2 blocks when I got there. I have no clue how far it went before it opened at 3pm. The second queue is usually what people are thinking of when they talk about cramped crowds. You couldn't go more than 3 feet every 10 minutes because there were only 3 police officers checking everything, and they didn't tell anyone about the no backpack rule until they were halfway through the queue. I finally made it to Times Square at 5:55, just in time for the ceremony to start. However, there was a there queue at that time. It was probably a bad idea to close off because the second the gates would open (roughly every 15 minutes), everyone would start running and crushing each other to get to the next zone before the others despite there being more than enough room by the ending.As for the thunderstorm that happened, I found it kino and refreshing. I'm glad it filtered out a lot of the crowds. The real issue with the rain was that it made all my clothes a lot heavier and harder to walk in.
>>2746434sounds like a terrible time. what were your favorite parts? was there an act you wanted to really see or something?
>>2746470I don't know why I liked it so much. I guess it was the comfy atmosphere or dehydration lol
>>2746481the joy of shared suffering, kek
