New Year's Nation is the only event of its kind, connecting thousands of people in multiple cities on the biggest night of the year. The New York-based company, founded by Jann Yogman, throws a simultaneous New Year's Eve party across four time zones. Guests from coast-to-coast can celebrate with friends in other cities and toast the new year every time the clock strikes midnight.
On December 31, 2006, New Year's Nation hosted 5,000 guests at a national New Year's Eve bash in five U.S. cities of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Boston, all connected by streaming video on giant plasma screens.
In 2007, New Year's Nation expanded the New Year's Eve party to the eight U.S. cities of Boston, Los Angeles, Dallas, Detroit, Denver, New York, Philadelphia and Seattle.
In 2008, New Year's Nation held their partys in 10 U.S. cities: Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle. Travis Barker and DJ-AM (Adam Goldstein) performed at New Year's Nation's Los Angeles party at The Wiltern, and their performance were streamed live in high-definition quality on the Internet at newyearsnation.com, and broadcast live through NYN-TV. This was their first show together since they were in a post-concert plane crash in September 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or nation:
“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Genius is always sufficiently the enemy of genius by over- influence. The literature of every nation bear me witness. The English dramatic poets have Shakespearized now for two hundred years.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
