Bandwagons, and jumping on.
Mar. 6th, 2007 11:55 amThere is a current trend on my friends list. It seems to consist of people going 'sod that!'
(for those who aren't in that particular circle - every two years in August there is a Discworld convention. For the past 10 years there has been a 'con-in-a-field' in the alternate years, which consists of a few events, lots of beer, tents, and meeting friends. Attendance cost £5. The organisers of said event no longer being in existance, a replacement event was mooted. This has turned out today to be costing in excess of £70)
Along with everyone else, I can't afford that much. I want to get together with people, i'm not fussed about the events. A few people seem to be suggesting alternative arrangements, i'm up for that.
Any surrounding arrangements (that I may have mentioned to a few people, involving Indian food) could still happen, especially if there was a get together somewhere else that weekend... I've got the friday booked off work at the moment.
