But who cares? . . . It's fun time for many . . . and one of the very few nights when comics will get laughs from stale jokes as going out last year and having a great time . . . with a bunch of Indians . . . and answering their own question of how he or she knew they were Indians .. . "Because they all had reser- vations?' Yes, only on New Year's Eve could the comic get away with something like that. If you're going clubbing and don't have reservations, forget about chancing those open house shindigs unless you call first to find out if there is room to get in . . . Best recom- mendation for those who know they'll do a bit of imbib- ing, is to eat before and after. Sure wouldn't be New Year's Eve without those par- ty favors . . . They'll be at all late seatings, of course, that hit the magic midnight mark. If you're looking for a spot to eat after clubbing . . . search no further than a Ram's Horn restaurant .. . Only three of the 29 restaurant chain will not be open 24 hours . . . The one on Orchard Lake Rd. between 12 & 13 Mile is one of those clos- ing early, but the 12 Mile & Northwestern operation will be open . . . as well as other convenient ones. Remember, folks, the big- gest nut in a car is the one behind the steering wheel on New Year's Eve . . . especial- ly if he or she has had a few drinks . . . Do yourselves a great big favor . . . and the cops, too . . . by stopping at a Ram's Horn or wherever to soak up that always dangerous "One for the road?' Have a very healthy and happy new year everyone. Last week I gave an alphabetical mini listing of what some places were offeri- ing New Year's Eve . . . Here are some more.
