New Years eve party by Spencer Traver, Stang Staff On New Year’s Eve, tens of thousands of Houstonians poured into Discovery Green in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center for a citywide party. Fireworks, music, lights, ice skating, and many other attractions lured in local residents from all surrounding areas. From 7pm until 1am, residents poured into the area to ring in the new year of 2013. Though the celebration began at 7pm, the real party came in the later hours close to midnight. There was an illuminated parade with trucks, buses, convertibles, motorcycles, and other vehicles covered in as many lights as one could possibly imagine. Following the parade, there was a DJ duel between DJ Gonz and Elroy Boogie. The two battled it out from illuminated towers throughout the park. Sadly, the live musical entertainment that was supposed to be provided by KC and the Sunshine Band for the

evening was cancelled due to rain. The party was not all centered around adults though. There was kid’s soul train and disco area for the kids that would not be able to stay awake past their bedtimes for the midnight countdown. In the 70’s-themed area were stilt walkers, rock climbing, glowing bungee trampolines, and quad jumpers. The main entertainment of the whole midnight party came right as the clock struck twelve with a show of fireworks. Hundreds of flaming fireworks were set off the top of the George R. Brown convention center leaving a beautiful sight for those in attendance, as well as the viewers at home watching the live broadcast on the news. While many in Houston celebrated downtown at Discovery Green, a large number of Houston Christian’s students celebrated their own ways. For instance, senior Ryan Leiss12 went with fellow students to a

neighborhood party. Ryan described his special night by saying, “When the clock struck midnight, I became the happiest man alive. What a great New Year’s!” Fellow senior Vika Wyman12 agreed with Ryan by saying, “Though the whole celebration was great and all, I really enjoyed that spectacular feeling when the clock finally struck midnight.

I can feel the excitement just by thinking of it right now!” Some students decided to take a different approach to celebrating New Year’s Eve. Likewise, seniors Emma Loo12 and Matt Hook12 decided to go and experience a murder mystery dinner with family. Emma said, “I enjoyed watching fireworks and spending time with my best friend and his family for

New Year’s.” Ryan, Vika, Emma, and Matt are just four of many students that enjoyed their celebration of ringing in 2013. Fireworks, loud music, and plenty of lights seemed to be the common denominators for the fun around Houston this New Year’s Eve. This New Year’s Eve was a great success for the entire Houston community.
