Just when you thought 2007 was over, we have one last thing for you. A New Years Eve party in New York City! That is right, this year, WOXY.com, along with the folks from Metromix and some great bloggers are bringing you a music filled New Years Eve in the Big Apple.

Here are the details…..

With so many exciting things in store for After the Jump in 2008, including SXSW and an even bigger Summer festival, the blogger collective has decided to celebrate early with a HUGE New Year’s Eve party, taking over all two floors of the Knitting Factory. And best of all, After the Jump is proud to announce that this event will be in support of the small non-profit Education Through Music. Education Through Music creates entire music programs in underfunded schools. From teaching interested musicians how to teach to buying instruments and providing a curriculum, ETM is working to ensure music touches the lives of all students.
