It is easy to drop $50 at any nice restaurant and that doesn’t include entertainment, drinks, and a free t-shirt. So that, while I love going to nice restaurants, this is a better deal and goes for an unbelievably good cause. I will be there as long as my flight gets back in time from DC.

My comment reflected some carried-over exasperation about the complaints over the price of BBQ fest tickets back in August. I’ve probably grilled too many non-profit hot dogs in my day, it’s made me prickly!

We joke about the number of festivals in Decatur, and the DM t-shirt even has a a tagline that pokes fun. I guess I am just feeling a bit of fundraiser and festival fatigue that is exacerbated by my perception that the costs are rising faster than I anticipated.

Sigh – there are so many good causes, but so few dollars in my wallet.

However, I guess my point was that pretty easy to spend $50-$60 at UJoint for 2 people on a given night.

Given that at the Lowcountry Boil you get a nice meal, free drinks, and live entertainment with the price of your ticket and support a cause that you care about, $60 per person is not a bad deal at all. But if $60 is too expensive for you, nobody is making you go.
