What are you doing New Year's Eve? When we quizzed a baker's dozen of the town's cultural tastemakers for our Lucky '13, we asked them what they were planning to do tonight. As revealed in this Latest Word post, some are performing, some are snuggling with their beloved, and some don't have a clue.

Whatever you decide to do tonight, have a very happy new year!
