My New Years Eve is usually pretty low key. I usually stay at home alone and toast in the New Year with a bottle of sparkling apple cider watching the New Year's Eve countdown on local television. That might sound depressing, but I usually have a ball watching videos or some television cable marathon (like Sex and the City)
For me, it's usually a great time to reflect, and think about how I plan on changing some things in the upcoming year, and to celebrate my successes of the past year. Some years I've even invited a guy over for a quick fuck. Last year I had the luxury of hosting a not so successful orgy in my apartment with my boy (and main squeeze) FRIEND.
This year, I was determined to do something different for a change. Someting sexy and fun. I was feeling devlish. But unfortunately, there is nothing (fun) to do on Chicago's southside on New Year's Eve for a black gay man. So I would have to trek to the northside.
Luckily, Chicago is the most amazing city in the world. Why? Because the CTA (the Chicago Transit Authorty--our public transportation system) only costs 1 penny from 8pm New Year's Eve until 6am New Year's Day. Not having to worry about travel costs, I decided that I would celebrate the New Year with as much debauchery as possible.
I would go to a bathhouse.
