A little Synopsis on New Years Eve in NYC;

New Years Eve in New York City is like no other place on earth.  The scoreboard says it all, over one million people will be in Times Square to watch the ball drop and one billion people worldwide will be watching.  The ball this year has 2700 Waterford Crystal triangles and weighs almost 12,000 pounds.  This tradition goes all the way back to 1904 and the dropping of the ball officially started in 1907.
