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.)

On the other hand, I haven't gone to Twelfth Night for years because it was massively overcrowded - enough years that it might not even be true anymore. Higher prices are a very good way of thinning the crowds down, to the point where it is once again a reasonable sized event. (And yes, "reasonable-sized" is certainly point-of-view dependent.)
