If you time your vacation days correctly, you’ll probably be able to make your New Year’s Eve weekend into a four-day weekend. You’ve probably got a random personal day stocked up there somewhere, right? And besides, it’s not like your incompetent, unappreciative sloth of a boss would even know you were gone if you took off on Friday. Just hire a geeky 12-year-old to hack into the office computer systems and send a couple of generic e-mails on your behalf while you sleep in. Rinse, repeat on Monday. In the interim, Fort Worth improv troupe Four Day Weekend is hosting a New Year’s Eve shindig that might inspire you to play hooky on Tuesday too. First, there’s a cocktail-style dinner catered by Reata, so you can stuff yourself before signing up for that overpriced gym membership in 2006. Then the Four Day boys will tickle, poke, prod and generally violate your funny bone with a couple of hours of comedy gold, so you can brag that you got some action. A DJ will then spin some smooth grooves to which you shall shake your “thang.” Tickets are $100 and include a Four Day T-shirt and tickets to a future show. Dinner starts at 8 p.m., with dancing till 2 a.m.
Fridays, Saturdays, 7:30 & 10 p.m., 2004
