Whether you’re a staunch believer in time-honored traditions, like having an excuse to pop open a bottle of bubbly, or you just enjoy watching the parade of the fairer sex’s cocktail dresses, New Year’s Eve is upon us.

It’s been a big year (in a good way) for Gear Patrol, and we hope the same can be said of your 2008. Regardless of what’s to come in 2009, we hope that you’ll let the crew from Gear Patrol face it with you; we’ll be reveling in the joy and commiserating in the pain, just like you. A toast to men:

* holding a glass of champagne *

Here’s to the moments we shared. Here’s to the moments we were spared.
Here’s to the friends we made. Here’s to enemies, may they fade.
Here’s to making it worth the time… it really has been quite sublime.

Happy New Year from the entire Gear Patrol Crew.
