1999 NEW YEAR's EVE - WHERE WERE YOU?

I was 29 yrs old and my wife and I were driving home from visiting my parents. I remember all the hype regarding Y2K...ha ha. The ball dropped when we were about 1 mile from our house. The radio was playing Tone Loc's song "wild thing"
It now way in hell feels like 20 years ago.

Downtown Chicago. 10 years later I would find myself living in the Bridgeport neighborhood for 4 years. I hope I never have to return there ... for any reason.

And you're still alive? Amazing.

I was seven years old at a big family party. It was happy and fun. A very cold night, but we set off a few fireworks. My family was laughing about the Y2K fail.

We had a good family piss up. I was around 16 and managed to sneak some bacardi and cokes and get drunk. Then we counted in the new millennium. It was a happy time. Y2k wasn't really on my radar

I still have a Y2K Beanie Baby, lol.

Holy fucking mother of God, Trump was calling America great back in '99 and was "looking at" running for president back then.

He was dropping hints as far back as the 80's.
He was quoted in 1987 as saying, "I'm not running for president, but if I did, I would win".

haha nice. I can't remember it being big over here. I was young so cant be sure.

In the military, partying with friends at a pub in the Netherlands.

at home and "waiting" on the computer clocks to NOT fail.

Sawing logs just like I do every year.

Melbourne Australia

I remember looking up and thinking about space time

Fascinating

On an island in the PNW, we watched the pyramid show. Lmao

Um, I was bent over on a sawhorse shooting bottle rockets out of my butt cheeks LOL. That really burned my ass but drinking lots of beer and having the GF smear honey on my burns made everything better.

Where ever I was, I was surely contemplating that only one more year remained of the second millennium. Because the second one wasn't over until the year 2000 was over.....

I was 12. It was a simpler, yet wonderful time haha!!

I was working for Novell, the premier networking company of the time, waiting for the Y2K problems to raise their ugly heads that evening. But nothing really went bad!

At work in a Fortune 500 IT Firm (36 hours straight) making sure Y2K fear didn't become a reality.

Overnight computer operator for a brokerage firm thinking it was all going to end. But it didn't. LOL

I was intentionally trying to stay home & not go out partying. Needed to decompress & Y2K had too much potential. My mortal enemy came to my house to try & drag me out for some festivities, & we began drinking beer. We got really shitfaced & found an audio file of the jivetalking track from the movie Airplane. My "enemy" (don't ask) ran it through an echo filter on my computer & kept tinkering with effects. We kept drinking & he kept fiddling with this silly soundtrack blasting it over my surround sound speakers. The drunker we got the funnier it sounded. Laughed so much it hurt.

We stumbled out & drunk-drove to some mixers at various bars flirting with pretty gals & the rest of the night was one big drunken blur. Didn't score with a pretty lady but I was too drunk to care. Luckily I made it through without any trouble (my big mouth & ruthless sense of humor used to get me into barfights). The laughter from the Airplane thing though is the most memorable part - my stomach muscles were sore the next day from a solid hour of laughing so hard I cried.

Home on leave from the Navy. G/f and I had just gotten out of the shower, we went and watched the ball drop. Said eh, and went to bed for more fun.


To be in my early 20s again. lol

It sure as hell doesn't seem like 20 years has gone by... It's amazing how fast time flies and when you have kids it feels like it goes by so much quicker.

The days are long, but the years are short...

High on acid naked as a Jaybird with my Xwife... If the world was gonna end, I was going out with a bang!

Puking out the window of a triple decker apartment building in a bad part of town onto the landlord's car.

Actually, I was the first person at least in Eastern Standard Time to vomit in the 21st century, and the last to vomit in the 20th since I had a continuous stream that began at 23:59 and ended at 00:00.

To me, waking up on 1/1/1900 really did feel like the end of the world.

Because of guys like you my brother ended up with hundreds of cans of soup stored up. I had to throw them all away fifteen years later.

What's the point in prepping when you are mentally fucked up?

I was there too. Cheesecake!

At a cabin in the mountains...Life's a Trip.

In Vegas watching the fireworks from my backyard.

OAKLAND, smoking chronic and pimpin hoes
