Codgers

[msmemory_archive]

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.)

well and I have suggested that the Kingdom should step up to the plate and help groups out with this scenario. The Kingdom is in a much better financial place and should assist a group that goes out of its way to make a reasonably priced event for something like Twelfth Night.

That would be lovely if were ever to happen. It also might help ease the lack of bids for these events. I know that one of MY big apprehensions about a 12th Night bid is the fear that if we get the event and CT gets hit with an ice storm that weekend that it would wipe the barony out. That's a powerful incentive to say "let some other group do it - we'll offer to help!"

Considering the double-whammy we're getting as of tomorrow (2nd storm in 3 days), I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that winter blows itself out this weekend and stays dry at least until after 12th Night.

Scary to think that the event is sneaking up quickly.
