I can totally identify!  My beau and I initially planned to go to someone's house to have a little party - then that got shifted to evening DVR action.

I wanted to go somewhere to experience the moment with others, ended up feeling content to listen to the events (watching through my coat-hanger tv signal!) and sharing the moment on Twitter.  

It wasn't what I had envisioned.  But to see how people around the world were reacting, the virtual gathering ended up being enough for me :-)

(PS - Found you through Chuck's blog - congrats!  Already loving what I've read here!)
