BAR: Amber calls it quits tonight. Come drink up, smoke up, and, er, whatever else up in the bathroom for the final time. The neighborhood won't be the same without it come 2010.

6 p.m. - 2 a.m. // Amber (718 14th Street) // free

COMEDY: Ring in 2010 with a laugh on your lips. "Not Your Normal New Year's Eve" features cutting-edge comedians like Brent Weinbach, Will Franken, Moshe Kasher, and Mary Van Note. Hosted by San Francisco comedian Jill Bourque, NYNNYE will have a midnight balloon drop.

10 p.m.// Herbst Theatre (401 Van Ness) // $25 - $40

MUSIC: Can't get enough of them on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon? The Roots will play The Warfield in what is sure to be a concert you can name Rock and Roll. Maybe they'll even pull you from the audience and compose a sultry song about your life.

9 p.m. (Doors open at 8 p.m.) // The Warfield (982 Market) // $72 - $95

SPORT: You vowed to exercise more this year, so why wait for the morning? Paddle out to the bay with City Kayak and see the fireworks in their most up close luminosity. And with the holiday lights still up in the city, the view is sure to be gorgeous. Plus, it's a blue moon tonight, and that's just a shameful thing to miss.

10 p.m. // South Beach Harbor, The Embarcadero // $79 plus tax
