Mama needs a new dress

So I got invited to about 6 different New Year's Eve parties. But NYE in Chicago leaves something to be desired for me every year. My sister and I concur that Chicago is given the scraps of music, venues, and general entertainment for the night. It's always some smelly old blues musician drunk off his ass making a few pity bucks for a crap ass performance in Millennium Park (Before 2003, it was Grant Park). It annoys me. So I'm gonna go somewhere this year. And for that, I'll need a dress. I found one, but it's only for one night and I don't think it's worth it to shell out more than $100 (and that's a generous figure). So I guess I'll figure this out later. I have about 2 more weeks, and things always work themselves out.
