John Bonham 14,324 Report post Posted December 1 December '99 was 20 years ago! Where were you, what were you doing, what are your memories of any and all things December '99-related? I was 26 years old, no kids, didn't own a home, and was still working as a general contractor. I was full-on in the middle of my "opiates" period. I thought the shit was gonna go down pretty soon, and I wasn't too far off... 9/11 was 21 months away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meatpuppet 1,990 Report post Posted December 1 I was an angsty sophomore in high school. Times weren't great but I wish I had the forethought to make the most of it instead of sulking and rebelling. I was mistakenly really into basketball. I got tired of newsreports on Y2K. Later on it got voted one of the most hated words. News hasn't gotten much better. I wouldn't return to that era. Save a few movies it was a pretty bland time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Facekicker 7,907 Report post Posted December 1 17. I remember going to see a "futuristic laser show" at midnight in the city and it was the greatest pile of shit I've ever witnessed in my life. It was cold, windy and at midnight started pissing rain. I half hoped a plane would fall out of the sky just so there'd be something interesting to see. Probably the greatest damp squib of my life. Talk about a letdown. I remember my Dad loudly proclaiming - "What a load of bollocks" at the laser show. Went home, put on Jools Holland I think and had a few cans with my Dad. Ever since I've had an intense dislike of New Year's Eve and without fail it turns out to be a shitshow every fuckin year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donald Trump 3,131 Report post Posted December 1 I was bunkered down underground in a university radio station while on a healthy dose of magic mushrooms. There was a random dude skateboarding in the hallway and a homeless guy sleeping in the backroom. We were hoping to broadcast the end of the world but we were mostly taking requests over the phone. Some guy named Johnny Choochoo (pronounced chew-chew, like the train) who was also on magic mushrooms kept phoning in and requesting Uncle Meat by Frank Zappa.

EstrangedTWAT 4,592 Report post Posted December 1 I knew it wasn't gonna be the end of the world, but the media was playing up the fear and paranoia almost as much as they're doing it with Trump now. It was my senior year of college. I remember seeing coverage from around the world as the clock turned midnight, starting with that little island right on the international date line that has like five people on it. It was unusual cause before then, nobody gave a shit about seeing the time change in other countries. I was just superstitious enough to think something COULD happen so I didn't want to be in a big crowd. I went out to an Italian place with my girlfriend and had calzones, and then went back to her parents' place cause they were gonna be out at a party. So we basically banged 3 or 4 times waiting til midnight, and then I remember watching the usual lameass New Year's Eve show on NBC or whatever, and it turned midnight and that was it. Nothing happened. I was a little disappointed. I really thought the power was gonna go out at least. Oh well. At least I got laid a lot that day.

meatpuppet 1,990 Report post Posted December 1 I'm afraid to discuss Y2K because it makes me look boomer but yeah I'm old. I remember some silos in Russia and US were talking about last minute upgrades. I was too preoccupied in my own little world to care. I guess it was a big deal kinda.

maynard 4,911 Report post Posted December 2 I was 12. There's nothing interesting I can share with you from that time Kind of a loner at school, playing a lot of PS1, I was a happy kid but the best was surely yet to come. In 2001 I met my best friend and to this I have the greatest people I've ever known around me. Thank God I never had to hang out with my school colleagues ever again. They all sucked.
