    I don't care much, since I sure as hell won't take the R train out to Times Square around 7 or 8pm, stand around for 5 or 6 hours, just to see the ball drop among a horde of people. I'll do the same thing I do every year, drink at home, watch the ball drop on TV, and get back to my Honeymooners Marathon, then go out to the bar for more drinks. It's genius!

    What is it with this whole ball dropping thing? Does anyone know how and why this got started?

    This sounds like a great thing to add to NYC's deficit spending! Way to go, and enjoy all your new toll bridges...

    @pdok: I too agree with you. However, I'm not so sure NYC foots the bill on this. The Fireworks are Macy's. The Thanksgiving Day Parade is Macy's. I don't know if the ball is Macy's, but I do think it's a sponsor's and not partially mine.
