I lived close to San Fran, but grew up in Santa Barbara...what part are you from? Thanks for input...I'd love to hit NY but can't because I'll be working...won't leave me much time to drive to NY before the ball drops! So how often do you go out in Boston? I'm having the hardest time meeting cool people....I have make some girlfriends that like to dance the night away and go boarding the next! Do you board?
