Well that brings me back... I was hired for a NYE dance at the Swingin Tern dance in Chatham NJ. They were paying me well, so I felt obligated to do something a little, um.., special. Before the big countdown, I stepped into the stage wing and ended the dance in progress. I donned an Old Man outfit and mask, and announced myself onto the stage. I made a few parting remarks, and then came the big countdown. At 5 seconds to midnight, I whipped off the old man outfit and mask, and at midnight I had transformed myself into Baby New Year, complete with big diaper and sash proclaiming the New Year. (This took practice.) We then launched into a waltz and then broke for a dessert buffet. Don't worry too much about the ritual. Work with the producers and just have a fun, safe, time.
