Plans for the reunion party on Sat
Posted Sunday, December 12, 2010 06:16 PM

 Hi all,

Just feeling the need to have a discussion about the plans for the reunion coming up. Looks like we will be having a mixer at an undetermined location and then will spend the rest of our time out in Garth's field. Having attended the Palooza Dos this last summer, I think I understand the reasoning behind choosing this venue- easy to find. free parking, no rental fee (I imagine), room to accomodate a crowd. I have to say that I enjoyed seeing everyone at the Dos event, but really don't find the location to be all that appealing for the reunion party on Saturday. Is it really too hard to book a place where we have lights and seats and could possible dress up and have a little class? I personally don't find the "kegger" atmosphere to be a real draw anymore. It takes me from a "definitely attending" to an "I'll have to think about it" status. 

If I am off base about this, please correct me. Does anyone else have any thoughts about the topic?

Hey Shelly!  I'll join in on the discussion.  Replied to this but it disappeared.  I think.  If two replies come up, hopefully I say about the same thing! 

At the first Palooza we heard a lot of people comment that they were no longer interested in the hotel ballroom/dance formality.  We shared that with Mary and she did a survey.  Of those that responded, I am assuming, the relaxed atmosphere was the preferred choice.

As the Dos was the first time we went to Garth's land, perhaps we can look into lighting and a definite seating area/tents for those that don't want to be standing around a camp fire!  LOL  Perhaps we can create more of an "outdoor" party atmosphere than a kegger!
