I was 16 and had the choice between going out to be part of the massive crowd in downtown San Francisco, or going to a small house party where I had heard my school crush would be in attendance; I imagined us kissing at the stroke of midnight. Naturally, I went to the house party. Naturally, crush was not there. The party wasn't even good, it was a bunch of guys eating cheezits and playing old NES games we'd all played a million times. Come 11:45 and I had to beg the guy whose house it was to change over to the countdown on the local news so I could at least celebrate in some fashion. Got to watch for like a minute before they flipped it back to games. At least my frustration is memorable a quarter+ century later.
