Shush you.
Oh, just trying to bait some of those anti-OTP ITPers a bit!

Bah, we have enough of that mess to fill the Bellwood Quarry. We don't need any more of it or we might just flood the whole park!

I think they've done stuff like this in the past, certainly during the Olympics.

Wouldn't kill them to run until 2 or 3am one night.

Right now, the peach drops and then the second it's done, everybody just packs up and goes home. Ringing in the new year should entail spending the first hour or two doing something really fun!
There are definitely concerts afterwards, including Janelle Monae last year. Over the recent years, the party has moved downstairs, until they closed those clubs. When those clubs (re-)opened in Kenny's Alley in 2005, that was the best NYE in recent memory at Underground, and the crowd was twice as large the next year.

Key West drops Sushi in a big shoe.... My mother thought it was actually sushi and was pretty grossed out! She about died when I told her Sushi was a drag queen!

Off topic post, I know, but somewhat related...

Don't get me wrong, the Peach Drop should stay, just moved to COP, but I have a very hard time believing their conclusion...
