For all of you New Year’s revelers out there, here are the plans for NANYED 2015. Sorry that this is somewhat verbose. 

Because December 28th worked out well last year, we are again having the dinner on December 28th, which is, of course, a Monday this year. The group was about evenly split between preferring Sunday and Monday, so we went with Monday to place the days more toward the middle between Christmas and New Year’s.

 The party has moved about 240 miles west to the Windy City. We have reserved the Flamenco Room at the incomparable Carnivale restaurant.  Rooms have also been reserved for both the 27th and 28th at a new hotel called the Freehand Chicago - http://thefreehand.com/chicago . 

Although we don’t have to etch everything in stone for a while, it would be helpful to us if you could try to commit by December 15 (sooner if you know), so that we might be able to finalize the details with Carnivale comfortably before Christmas.
