Is anything happening on New Years Eve?

(I know it's a way out, but people at work are already trying to get the night off. And while I'm currently not working that night, if nothing enticing is likely to occur I'll switch out shifts so that someone more social can have the night.)

In the interest of using only things I already posses, apparently I'll be a secret agent kind of girl tomorrow night. It's uncreative, but I'm lazy. (Won't it be exciting to see me in a tie?
