The first-ever New Year's Eve ball-drop in Downtown Sacramento, CA. Video faces southbound on 10th Street, about 100 feet from K Street Mall, 11:58 to 12:01, 12/31/2008 and 1/1/2009.
The stage-emcees include a tuxedoed Norm Alvis, KFBK radio's Kitty O'Neal (wearing the black beret), and Mayor Kevin Johnson (ex-NBA star) who had JUST arrived onstage at 11:58:00.
Sadly, Sacramento has not had another "New Year's Eve Ball Drop" due to liabilities that city/county officials could not afford, and the lack of private funding to keep it going.
At the 1.40 mark, you'll hear me exclaim "30 seconds!!" and one other blurb moments later. :o)
