The Twelve Days of New Year's: Five Golden Syllables

They are five golden syllables: Resolution Ball. The self-proclaimed longest-running, largest, and best event in Boston takes place this New Year's Eve. Be prepared to dress like a champion (though it's "black tie optional"), drink up, and dance all night at this event for "young professionals." It may not be everyone's thing, but if it's yours—have at it. The Felix Brown Band and DJ Samuel L. will be on hand to play music. Choose to attend just the party (starting 9:30pm), a reception with hors d'oeuvres (8:30pm), or a full-on dinner (7:30pm). Everyone gets a goody bag (apparently worth over $200) at departure.
