We're charging up the camera, swigging caffeinated soda and getting ready to head downtown for the biggest event of the year: First Night!

Our first year in Tacoma we had an amazing time at First Night 2005. I've been volunteering with the organization since 2007, and it has been so amazing to see our New Year's Eve festival roar back to life.
