Codgers

Color me Old Codger. I'm having sticker shock today over the prices of Twelft [sic] Night and Birka. Yes, I know that each is charging just a smidge more than a first-run movie ticket, and I couldn't eat anywhere nicer than Friendly's for a sum like that feast fee, but I am unused to these numbers - or to the notion that advance registration doesn't give a discount.

(If anyone knows for sure that the 12th Night feast is sold out, let me know so I won't bother sending an onboard reservation.)

We weighed the option of feast vs going out - since [livejournal.com profile] blaecstan and [livejournal.com profile] melvh will be spending the weekend with us, it seemed more feasible to plan in advance for dinner out.

It's not that I don't want to support my own Barony, but it is simpler to go out when guests are staying over so we can spend time with them, if that makes sense... Plus the cost of this feast plus site fee is the cost of a dinner at one of the chain restaurants. I know we're talking apples and oranges for food taste, but it's more of a budget issue for us.
