After attempting to post a review of the Old Sac fireworks earlier and having Safari crash on me, I thought I'd try one...last...time! :-P
So, my husband, best friend, and I went to Old Sac last night and we actually had a good time. It was crowded...but, not too crowded. There were some interesting folks down there last night and someone invited a lot of homeless people who were wearing 2008 hats and stuff and it was kindof weird. There were firedancers and live music and food along Front Street. All the clubs/bars were packed with lines out the door on almost every one. The mood was festive, the police were everywhere (we have some HOT policemen in Sacramento!), and the hoochies were out in force. I swear I saw the biggest boobs EVER and a girl with an ass that stuck out so far it celebrated New Years with Denver! I had no idea Tunel 21 was now a ghetto, hoochie bar! That was interesting.
Anyway, we left Old Sac at about 11:30 to avoid the inevitable traffic and went over to 2nd and R by the pedestrian bridge and rang in the New Year there. The fireworks were good. I'd give them about a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I liked the effect of using the Tower Bridge and having fireworks come from there also.
All in all, it was a good New Years and I was happy to be in the central city for this one. People were everywhere, clubs all over were packed, and it seemed everyone was having a great time! Here's some pics from my iPhone (not the best quality) of some of the night.
Hot Policemen:
This part of Old Sac by the Clarendon Apts was almost empty!
Firedancers:
It looked like the Zig was made of lights! Someday, maybe, they'll make Rob's dream a reality and incorporate it into the New Years Celebration!
This will certainly have a big impact!
