Come outside the Perimeter for some really great music and a helluva party on NYE, and support Arts Education in Public Schools. Guadalcanal Diary, Dex Romweber, and Flamingo Royale, all for $30. Plus, great restaurants and bars to finish out your last night of 2011....
more than anything for those of you who plan on celebrating this weekend, please please have a designated driver who will only celebrate with a soda or water.... sounds boring, but I would much rather read how there were no deaths on the roads Sunday morning then to read about some idiots who were foolish and thought they were fine and could drive after getting plastered.....
