Hi, Officer. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Lady.

That was the officer's response to me. There was some sort of commotion inside the club as we were waiting at the exit of the Emerald Ballroom last night waiting for our ride. Something happened with a group of people on a party bus and the police were called and the people were "escorted" out by security. While we were standing and waiting I would say bye to people as they left the Emerald and wish them a Happy New Year. Most of the people wished me a Happy New Year too. Then the Emerald Ballroom security made us move outside to wait so I wished them all a Happy New Year. Only a couple of the security guys responded, the others acted as if they were too busy taking care of a situation and couldn't be bothered to respond. As the police officers started to arrive in response to the commotion I would say hi and wish them a Happy New Year. Only the one officer responded. And he called me a Lady. Ha!

Then our ride and chauffeurs arrived and the seven of us climbed into Sarah's Equinox. Good thing the cops were too busy with the party bus people to notice that 9 people were crammed into an Equinox and driving away.

I will write more of the night's events later. It was a fantabulous good time.
