$40 a person?

Meh. Not too interested in myspace like conversations in person.
Worth it?

Free drinks? Hawt laydeez?

Meh, I doubt I'd go, but then again, I've stayed in touch with all the people from highschool that I really wanted to.

My 10 year reunion tickets I think were $75 per person or $120 per couple.

I ended up not going after I bought the tickets. Smiley: frown

Nope. Take the money and bank it. High School Reunions are only for those people whose lives and education level peaked around 11th grade. I am working on my 15 year away and never looked back. The friends that stuck around after graduation are the only ones I am interested in anyway.

If they pay you $40 bucks to come instead...you can at least say you got something out of an 11th grade education.

I come from a small town so I've managed to keep everyone that matters on msn or facebook. I think I could count the number of people I truly lost contact with on one hand. Plus I was in a graduating class of 25 people. Too small for a reunion me thinks.

If it didn't conflict with anything and wasn't too far of a drive I would go though, just for the weirdness of it.

Mine were about the same. I went sans wife (she was on business travel) and it was OK but to be honest, it would have been so very much better if (a) we held it in the gym (b) with no (or minimal) entry fee and (c) no loud music. The only reason virtually all of us are here is to talk to people and confined space, highly limited seating and blaring music equals no reason to be here.

We didn't attend my wife's 10 year because we had a small baby and it was a fairly long trip, with high expense.

My Reunion is coming up, and I find myself not really wanting to go. All of the people I wanted to keep in contact I talk to on the phone or online with pretty often.

It's a waste of time, and just an excuse for the school to hit the alumni up for some money.

Didn't go to mine.

If I wanted to keep in contact with people from HS, then I would have.

Went to my 5 year and I was the only person to Graduate from college. Even teh brainacs were like 1/2 way there. All the school clicks gathered together and 1/2 of my friends were not there. I went to my sisters 10 year. She was a senior when I was a sophmore. I still reconized the class greats from then.
In fact I was hit on by several of the men. I've never gone back and now its Um next year for me I'm not sure I'm going to show. I graduated in 1978.

I bet that they quickly reconized that you didn't need their clicking, what with your degree and everything.

Well, the last few notices my parents sent me about the Reunions I found that 95% of the people I hung around with were on the list of people they could not contact. I do think that My graduating college ahead of all the others was like "Meh" by my class mates. Maybe the 2008 reunion might be better. I want to see who has been married/divorced and who is where now. I've not been back to my home town in 8 years now.

my impromptu 10 yr reunion is tonight, held at some bar near Boston. Our Senior Pres did nothing for it, so a few people got together and threw a half *** bash together with only three weeks notice. Suffice to say, I'm not going. Those I want to see are ones I Keep in touch with regularly, and those I don't see I could pretty much care less about.

Did you grow up in an Eskimo village? Is eskimo ok, or do you people prefer Inuit?

I got my invitation to my 10 year high school reunion. Needless to say, it's at a bar. I will pass. No sense in going to see how fat the hot cheerleader got and how the nerd made out and hit it big time. I can just watch the movie Can't Hardly Wait for that.

Rent a Tux and a Corvette or a Beemer if you like and go. Be sure to act like you really don't want to talk about the millions you've made but make sure they know you have.

Should fit right in and you may even get a crack at the football jock you never banged back in the day...don't tell the wife though, she wouldn't understand.
