I went to the NDK new year's ball (NDK is Colorado's major anime convention), but the hotel was also hosting another new year's event. That one had a lot of mid-20's people who got really, really drunk and started some fights. One elevator got covered in champagne because some dickweed thought it would be a great idea to shake up a bottle and open it inside, while another had blood on the doors because a fight broke out near it. Actually a lot of shit went down, none of it caused by the weeaboo crowd. I wish I knew more, but I wasn't at the scene for most of it, so I only got to see the aftermath. Also no news teams seem to have picked it up.
I've always felt a bit guilty about the mess we end up making at NDK that the hotel staff has to clean up, but at least we're not committing felonies.
As for me, leading up to midnight, me and some friends went to the aforementioned formal ball. I had a 3x3 Rubik's cube with me, and I hung out with my friend who recently got into sleight-of-hand card tricks (and got good really fast), so basically we went around and put on shows for small groups of people. After midnight, the ball dispersed and we went up to our room. There were 7 of us in total, and we had a bottle of sake, a bottle of Jagermeister, and a bottle of Jack Daniels. Since I had a few episodes of Bill Nye on my laptop, we played a drinking game: Every time someone on the show said "science", we all took a shot. The liquor lasted 2 episodes. After that, we played some Mario Kart 64, but quickly gave up when we realized how hard it is to drive while drunk, so we watched The Room until everyone passed out. It was a fun night.
