I had promised myself NOT to be a pedant, but the
"millenial" hype, best of the century, etc, gets to
me. It ISN'T the last year of the century or the
millenium. I'm sure I needn't go into the "No year 0"
arguments for ppl on this list.
It is exceedingly cool that it will be the year 2000
of course. So I won't let mere logic get in the way of
a good party :). Besides, you get the excuse to do it
next year as well.

Stock up on food and water a bit.
Party on where I can see the fireworks on the harbour
(Sydney) I guess.
I have heard of some ppl who will celebrate in Sydney,
then fly to NY for NYE @ NYC, 15 hrs later.

Maybe, if there *IS* an internet :)

There will be an international 25 hour broadcast,
starting with some place on the Cook Islands or
somewhere. So you could see that.

NYE is made for nutcases!
