This week, you can officially kiss 2009 goodbye and welcome a new decade! It was a tough year for many, but hopefully you made it through in one piece and can take advantage of one of the numerous opportunities to celebrate the New Year in style. There are plenty of options, including a multi-night engagement with Ledisi starting Tuesday at Yoshi's SF and a two-night stand with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Wallpaper is set to get funky at Club 1994 while Frenchy le Freak holds court with the Fireworks Soiree at Hotel Vitale. If you're the type that likes to keep the party going until six in the morning and beyond, don't miss Brunch Drunk Love, Breakfast of Champions, or Breakfast in Bed, all of which start in the wee hours of New Year's Day. And, why not keep the party going? It's the dawn of a new day.
