What You Might Have Missed

New Year’s Eve in Dallas was as stylish and cool as ever — only more so. Revelers in downtown and Uptown and elsewhere wore sexy sequined dresses and flashy suits as they sipped champagne and counted down the last moments of 2007 in style. Check out who was where in these picture galleries from Nove, N9NE, and more.

Where to be this week/end

Thursday 1/3	Vue/Nine7Two Lounge: Industry New Year’s Eve Celebration You had to work on New Year’s Eve and miss all the fun? Quit your crying and throw on your party dress because Vue/Nine7Two Lounge is throwing a party just for you and your fellow bartenders, waitpersons, and the like. The bash, to be hosted by Pugs and Kelly from Live 105.3 FM, will feature a ball drop and prize giveaways. Also, there is a $5 door donation benefiting the American Diabetes Association. Carson’s Live Party like a rock star. Better yet, party like a rock star with (almost) rock stars. Check out 102.1 FM The Edge and Ayo’s Texas Unsigned at Carson’s Live tonight. Every Thursday they feature the “hottest rock music in Dallas.” This week: Boy Caught Dream, Jonathan Tyler, and ODIS. Karma Or maybe after the hectic holidays, you want a relaxing atmosphere and a few drinks in peace. Submerge yourself in all the elements of a Zen garden with a tropical landscape, soothing fountains, and a romantic fireplace at Karma. The upscale modern lounge’s happy hour features a complimentary international buffet and $5 you-call-its. And, with 12 drinks stations, service is never a problem.


Friday 1/4	Idle Rich Pub The Uptown Irish Pub is about as authentic as you can find without crossing the pond. Idle Rich specializes in seasonal beers, whiskies, wines, and food of Northern Europe. The rich cabinetry, furnishings, and tile work were imported directly from Ireland. That’s good trivia to share with your coworkers at happy hour. Go early because it gets crowded late. *$1 off bottles and drafts


Saturday 1/5	Uptown Bar & Grill Did somebody say karaoke? I admit, I’m a terrible singer, but that doesn’t hold me back from karaoke. Embarrass yourself (like me) or impress your friends this week at Uptown Bar & Grill. (Fun begins at 9:30 p.m.) If you’re not brave enough to take the stage, then chow down on some mouth-watering menu items that will satisfy late-night hunger.
