The Times Square Alliance is hosting a rather unconventional event this afternoon in preparation for New Year’s Eve: Good Riddance Day, “a chance to, literally, throw out your bad memories.” From noon to 1 pm, New Yorkers are invited to travel to Times Square and get rid of anything that they feel is too burdensome to keep—old love letters, fashion mistakes, incriminating documents…

If you can’t make it to the event, you can fill out an online form and let the world know what you’d like to part with in 2008 (messages will be displayed at the event).

What do you need to get rid of?
