I did too. I am sad for some reason.

I agree. I assumed -wrongly- that the houses would be inflated. That gives me the absolute willies. Gail responded thoughtfully and, now that I know that the houses are down, I would be more comfortable attending.

Cranky is a her? I was sure I knew who Cranky Old Timer was and it was a him. Hmmm. More proof that one should never assume….

+ 1 DEF took a completely proactive approach in response to this discussion. It emailed out a detailed explanation of this year’s event that’s sure to drum up more business. More folks are aware of the good food and spacious digs plus that this is an adult event even though it’s in a usually kiddy venue. A defensive posture would have had the opposite effect. Guilt and shame do not entice folks to part with $120 per couple. The promise of a good time does! I love shrimp.

Wow. Now I’m concerned about the venue. Can I get a refund?
Just kidding.
I am passing on a house concert by one of my favorite singers to go to the Boil. And also blowing off a non-profit board meeting. Beer and shrimp win.
