Are there any New Years Eve celebrations planned in the downtown Decatur?

J Murdoch posted this question in this week’s Free-For-All Friday.  I thought we might be able to help ’em out.

Does anyone know of any good New Year’s Eve events in Decatur? We’re looking for something fun, not too DJ-ey, and maybe a little dressy.

After an especially hectic holiday run around this year, the wife and I are thinking a quiet New Year’s Eve at home is just what the doctor ordered.

But that conversation also made me realize that other than Tastings’ New Year’s Eve party,  I’m not really clued in on the full extent of New Year’s Eve activities going on in Decatur this year.

So gentle readers, once again I seek your sage advice and drunken memories:
