Despite a frigid temperature that hovered just above zero and a fierce windchill,  a million people gathered in Times Square to ring in the New Year by watching the famous Ball Drop.  An estimated 100 million viewers tuned in to witness it on television.

Former President Bill Clinton and New York Senator Hillary Clinton were on hand, along with New York  Mayor Michael Bloomberg to push the lever that would begin the 60 second countdown on the 11,875 lb. orb made of 2,068 Waterford crystals and 32,256 LEDs.

Then Bill and Hill danced to the stains of New York, New York.  Check out the video below.

From all of us at Bitten and Bound: Happy New Year!  May your 2009 be awesome.
