Win NYE party tix!

You say you want a resolution?

Ooh, ooh, I've got one! How about not spending your life savings on another inevitably lame SoBe New Year's Eve party?

Few holidays are hyped, only to turn out to be a complete let down, more than New Year's Eve. People spend big money to party with d-list celebrities and get completely trashed (don't we do that every night here anyway?), only to realize that at 12:01, the only thing that's changed is your opinion of that girl you didn't think was so hot before that fifth glass of champagne.

I usually avoid going out like the plague, not only because of all the drunkards relying on liquid courage when they get behind the wheel, but because, well, why would I want to ring in the New Year with the same people I try to avoid every other night of the year? So where will I be when the ball drops? In a condo a taxi ride-distance from my place with 20 or so of my closest friends, sipping a few glasses of bubbly, dancing to good music and anticipating a countdown smooch.

But more importantly, what will you be doing this New Year's Eve? If you don't have any plans yet, and you insist on going out, we've got a party for you. It's called Flight '09, and, you guessed it, it's got an airplane theme. Not a "Does anyone here speak jive?" kind of airplane party (though that would be awesome), but a let's-pretend-we-own-private-jets kind of airline party. It's going to be at the Falcon Trust Air Hangar, and there will be jets, exotic cars, DJs, Cirque de Soleil-inspired entertainment, food and, of course, an open bar. And because it's all the way out in BFE (read: Kendall), the Holiday Inn across the street is offering a special rate to partygoers.

At a price tag of $99, it's a good deal. But an even better deal is the free tickets we're giving away. If you never win anything (which is most of us, really), then think of this win as a sign 2009 is going to be your year of awesomeness.

Hey, we all want to change the world. Or at least our little corner of it.
