This isn't mine, a kind gentlemen by the name of Manny Romano wrote it, but I thought that I would share it with the DJTT community. It also isn't geared toward DJ's necessarily, but I think that you guys might find it useful...
Happy a safe, happy and bangin NYE DJTT! --- I'm off to my gig tonight, hope all goes well for those who have gigs tonight too!

-10 Tips For Partying on NYE 2010-
1. The Midnight Make-out: NYE is a special occasion. Add a massive amount of joyful people, sprinkle some alcohol on top and everyone wants to do the tongue tango. Don’t wait until 11:55PM to find your mate, unless you prefer evolutionary traits on the lower end of the spectrum.
2. Grateful Gratuity: Everyone who works NYE is overworked. Give your bartender a hefty tip on your first drink, they will reimburse you with strong drinks and quick service on a night where Mission Impossible is a movie about getting a drink at the bar. (If you happen to be attending a residential celebration and the host asks for a nominal fee give a couple extra greenbacks and say “thank you kind sir/madam for hosting.” If there is no fee bring a bottle, even if not asked to do so.
3. It’s an Open-bar not an Ambulance Challenge: Most establishments will have alcoholic drinks galore but this is not a competition to see who can win the BAC race. Drink to have fun, unless you like being the creepy guy/girl sleeping in the corner at 11:30PM.
4. Make “Note” of the following. Things will undoubtedly get rambunctious, your bodies will reach high levels of intoxication and you will probably get into some type of trouble: make sure you have a taxi number, the address of the place you are going (there is a high probability of you drunkenly wondering off or just getting lost in general), if you are staying in a hotel write the room number and where you parked.
5. Dress to Impress (sort of): If it only happens once a year you want to look your best. But this isn’t the time to wear your grandmother’s diamond earrings that have been passed down through the generations or your white tailor-made Italian suit. Drunk people, champagne bottles popping, and alcohol induced memory loss don’t mix with precious jewelry, watches, or clothes you hold dear.
6. Hitchhiking (taxi): Cue awful drunk driving commercial. There is no need for you to drive on NYE, leave the driving to the hard working taxi drivers and have some fun in the back seat. For extra points rent a limo or other obnoxious vehicle.
7. The Box Office: Make your New Years plans and buy your tickets early. Never buy tickets at the door because prices will most definitely be higher. Lastly, if you are currently reading this and don’t have a place to go. Stop reading…make plans…then continue reading. It’s OK I’ll wait.
8. Pre-Game: Power nap. Eat. Drink Water. If you plan on having the night of your life, it’s going to take hard work and dedication. Socializing like “any other sport” requires preparation.
9. Late-Night Shenanigans: Keep an extra bottle of wine or easy to drink liquor (this isn’t the time to bust out the tequila) at your ending location for the night. You never know who may be coming home with you or what type of devious behavior will come about. For extra points a jacuzzi dip for late-night relaxation is always a plus.
10. Cheers to a great night.
