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.)

And I was worried that my event was too expensive. The whole day cost $17!

Here I am angsting over reducing the feast price, and planing to give up the Weston site...

I'm only willing to pay that much for feast and site combined about once a year, and I expect it to be a weekend event if I do. I know 12th Night is one of the Big Ones as events go, but still... ouch.

I'm slightly miffed about the no-pre-reg discount for Birka, but I'm trying to look at it as: How much money do I make per hour? How much standing-in-line time will I save by doing pre-reg?

The discount is that you don't have to stand in line.
