Where were you on 12/31/1999?

What was your life like then? Did you celebrate?

[Klaus]

I was in Berlin, at the public party, together with what felt like 12 billion other people.

My friends and I, all single and overpaid, weighed all the options and decided Rio would be best.

First of all, it’s summer down there. Secondly, it was going to be a party in any big city, but they party better than everyone else.

I met Rachel just a few weeks later.

[Renauda]

We were celebrating an alpine New Year’s in Jasper with close friends visiting from Finland.

Was it outside at the Brandenburg Gate?

[LuFins Dad]

I was at a Russian friend’s house…

That Rio trip was the last time I smoked pot. I was never much of a fan.

Herndon, VA, in the neighborhood lighting fireworks at midnight and awaiting the end of the world.

[George K]

I was sleeping after being on call on the night before.

I was at home in Virginia with my mom and my siblings, watched the new millennium start on TV. My dad was at the hospital with my sister who was dealing with something (I forget what), I think we were on the phone with my dad when the clock struck midnight, though.

You were probably in high school? I was 31.

[Doctor Phibes]

We were in Canada, and had been married just over two years, no kids. We were supposed to go to a party but Mrs Phibes was under the weather so we watched the new year in on TV.

[Axtremus]

I cannot remember.

I'm guessing they unplugged you for the evening in case of some Y2K meltdown

[Axtremus]

Or I unplugged myself as a self-preservation mechanism. I really do not recall.

[Jolly]

I don't remember.

It was just another day.

Yeah I was a senior in high school
