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.)

I don't mind the option to pay the dayboard either. In most instances if it is included in the site fee, I never get the chance to eat it because I am in a meeting, or on the fencing field. There are some rare events that actually brings the dayboard to these places and I am eternally grateful (Mudthaw comes to mind). But otherwise, for me, I would much rather pack my own lunch rather than pay and not get any, or the last remaining bits.
