It's 2012 in Mactown! Happy New Year everyone! We are in either the first or second time zone so we get to celebrate pretty early. McMurdo operates on New Zealand time.
We had the annual Icestock music festival today. It started at 6 PM and the bands are still playing! They had a chili cookoff for the first hour or so with several interesting options, including chili with peanut butter and chili with chocolate. I actually liked the peanut butter one! They did a countdown right at midnight then the bands got right back to playing. And yes, this is another great excuse for everyone to get drunk! My wife made me promise not to get drunk and not to kiss a girl at midnight though...

By the way, there was a skua flying over the concert during the performance by the "Flock of Skuas"!
