New Years Celebration





So, for New Years (or as it is known here Silvester) Shea and I went to a place in downtown Frankfurt called the Jazzkeller. It is a small bar tucked away in the basement of a shopping district. It has been around for quite awhile and has played host to all the big names in Jazz music. For Silvester, they have a DJ who spins a wide variety of music, from dance, to swing, latin, samba...he was all over the map, but mixed it all together very well. We had a great time dancing and watching the Germans dance. Let's just say that most of the men have the passion to be good dancers, if only they could find the rhythm.
Fireworks are sold here around New Years. Teenagers and such were having a great time throwing them at each other and scaring unsuspecting elders with them in the subway. Reminded me of the old 4th of July fireworks wars, so I was appreciative.
Shea and I had a great night ushering in the New Year and will certainly be going back to that place again. Happy 2009!
