Allo, New Year's Eve...hmmmm...how many of them do you have? 1, maybe 2 or 3 a year? How many of them count? How many New Year's Eve celebrations really count each year? Sure...you can sit home on the 31st, play it safe, keep your inhibitions locked away so that nobody knows how you really feel...OR...you can come out to Coach's on 148th and Metcalf, drink until you are tipsy (in a legally biblical sense), share your feelings with total strangers or maybe even people you know, dance the night away (or sit down while your significant other dances the night away), offend, sway, belch, toot, fall down, scratch, dig for ear wax, and even clip your toe nails given you are mid-way through a new found relationship with a bottle of Kansas City's own award winning Clear10 Vodka. Is there a better way to ring in the new year than to have those squinting red eyes that need no introduction as the predictable words that accompany them sound something like, "I love you man!" Jobin would be proud.

If you can reach in the pocket book and grab a couple of tickets to Coach's for New Year's Eve you can look forward to an incredibly awesome buffet of food for dinner featuring Prime Rib and Smoked Salmon, an open bar that is open from 8pm to 1am, Perpetual Change (a rock and roll cover band), party favors, donuts @ midnight, a champagne toast @ midnight, and a cab ride home for the drunken ones who need it. Did I mention there is an open bar from 8pm to 1am? The owner of Coach's is getting out the good stuff for the open bar...it will be an incredible night and an incredible New Year's Eve for those daring enough to attend. To buy tickets call Coach's at 913-897-7070, email bdarby@coach-s.com, or stop by Coach's on 148th and Metcalf. http://www.coach-s.com/kansas-city-sports-bar/events.php (scroll down on his page). As a special New Year's Eve gift Perpetual Change will be performing the incredible "Dance, Dance, Drop Your Pants" song at Midnight. Oh what a special time...oh what a special song. On behalf of everyone associated with Perpetual Change, Happy New Year and we wish you the best for 2010. Okay so is it 'Ohh-Ten' or is it just 'Ten' or is it 'Two Thousand Ten'? I personally like "Ohh Ten" because people correct me when I say it. It is kind of like when you are first learning to count...nine, ten, eleventeen, twelveteen...nineteen, tenteen, twentyoneteen, etc. Oh well...I am going to the hardware store...peace.
