- New Year's Nation
-
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.[1][2]
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.[3] [4][5][6][7][8].
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.[9] [10][11][12] This was their first show together since they were in a post-concert plane crash in September 2008.[13]
