Ano Nuevo

Happy new year folks. I hope the year ended as well as it started for one and all. I've always found NYE celebrations to be rather hit n miss...a case of too much pressure being put on it to be an immense night out.  However, this year was not so bad at all actually. I ended up playing strobe master with a torch til the early hours at a friends house party, adding a little ambience to the 90s soundtrack that was belting out. Well now i'm in the mode of gradually puling myself back together and getting a grip on what lies ahead in the first quarter of 2012. Here's what you should know and where you can go to find out more info. All the best.
