New Years Eve Dilemma in USA

You ll be tempted to ask why you are in a fix in a US of A as what to do on this damn important today. Everyone has a place to go and do something on the ultimate day of the year before ushering in the New year 2010, All will regurgitate their elaborate plans and explain how meticolously it was planned. Well, Even I had a rocking plan ie to see the Balls drop in New york city at Times Square and then party off at some local club like Webster Hall,Guastavino's or Pacha etc. But to my dismay the weather gods seems not so kind as rain and snow are forecasted for 31 Decemeber as if this was least of my problems imagine the maddening and cutting across it to get to the elusive Times Square at that fixed time 11:59 when the waterford crystal makes it descent. Now other option I have is to go to Philadelphia downtown which is of course pretty good but pales in comparison to New York City.
Also during this time as you have experienced Nightclubs tickets get overpriced and funny thing is people are willing to shell out. Well who can blame them it comes once in a while with new hopes and aspirations sprining from the arrival of New year
