New Year's Nation

New Year's Nation is the only event of its kind in the United States, connecting thousands of people in multiple cities on the biggest night of the year. The New York-based company, founded by Jann Yogman, throws a simultaneous New Year's Eve party across four time zones. Guests from coast-to-coast can celebrate with friends in other cities and toast the new year every time the clock strikes midnight.

On December 31, 2006, New Year's Nation hosted 5,000 guests at a national New Year's Eve bash in five U.S. cities of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Boston, all connected by streaming video on giant plasma screens.^[1][2]

In 2007, New Year's Nation expanded the New Year's Eve party to the eight U.S. cities of Boston, Los Angeles, Dallas, Detroit, Denver, New York, Philadelphia and Seattle.^{[1][3][4][5][6][7]}

In 2008, New Year's Nation held their partys in 10 U.S. cities: Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle. Travis Barker and DJ-AM (Adam Goldstein) performed at New Year's Nation's Los Angeles party at The Wiltern, and their performance were streamed live in high-definition quality on the Internet at newyearsnation.com, and broadcast live through NYN-TV.^{[8][9][10][11]} This was their first show together since they were in a post-concert plane crash in September 2008.^[12]

In 2010, the website www.newyearsnation was turned off, and error pages from Culture Pilot display in its place.
