While NYC will no doubt have some of the best parties, world-wide, Connecticut might be just close enough to steal some of the city's glamour and taste. And Massachusetts, too.
Connecticut events:
- Up Or On the Rocks in downtown Hartford is hosting TENET, a general pop/rock band I've never heard of from the area. Apparently they're kind of a big deal around here. Doors open at 7 p.m. and cover is $20 per person, $30 per couple. 21+
- The Wailers, best known for their association with Bob Marley, will be playing the Klein Auditorium in Bridgeport with their new frontman Elan Atias. The show starts at 8:30 p.m. for &$75 tickets.
- Toad's Place: Some more reggae/jam band material. They're having a New Year's Eve Extravaganza with Shakedown, a Grateful Dead tribute band. Also appearing are The Mo' Folkies and Far From Here. Doors open at 7 p.m., $9 advance, $15 day of the show.
And to recover from the night before, Tisane's Tea & Coffee in Hartford is having a Hangover Brunch from 11-4 p.m. on Jan. 1, 2008
Massachusetts events:
- Underbar in Boston is showcasing DJ Steve Walker in the main room with Top 40, Hip- Hop and Mashups in the side room. It's Las Vegas-themed. Doors open at 8 p.m. 21+
- Mantra in Boston with DJ Dirty Dek from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. $60 tickets, and they say that the place was sold out two days in advance last year.
- Rumor Nightclub in Boston is hosting DJ Clinton Sparks, known for Akon's song "Sorry, Blame It On Me," and Boston's own DJ Joey DelBuono. $75 tickets.
- Harry and the Potters at the Hynes Convention Center

You could have saved yourself the effort and said, "Connecticut sucks for New Years, go to NYC."
Man, this does look awful though.
