Congrats with the milestone, @strawhat! This sounds like a very cool contest, and I'm looking forward to reading some of the entries. New Year's Eve can be a very nice evening with lots of cool stuff happening, but for me personally it's pretty dull. The reason is that one of my two dogs is extremely afraid of the fireworks, so I have to stay inside and soothe him while the mayhem is outside. It's been over 5 years since I last saw the fireworks, so I mostly just watch Netflix and try to calm him down during the event.
