If you're looking for something a little different this New Year's, something that probably doesn't involve alcohol but does involve banjos and mimes, have I got the thing for you: Evanston First Night, a celebration of visual and performing arts. They'll have a fireworks and a parade at midnight. (Thanks Pace Bus!)
