offbalanceSo, a friend I'm recently back in touch with sent me a facebook invitation for my high school's 35th anniversary party next November. Nice. I remember reading about the 20th anniversary they held back in the day, so I looked at the details of the event.
The geniuses in charge of this one want RSVPs at the END OF FEBRUARY. And that's not even the best part.
It's on a Thursday Night.
It's $100.
IT'S ON STATEN ISLAND.
Now, I grew up in Brooklyn, and my high school was in Brooklyn. And I'm not the only one who balked at the choice of venue. The organizers said something about it being because it'd be "the best bang for the buck," and how it's not that inconvenient to get to, and that it'll be "totally worth it" because of all the old friends you'll see.
SURVEY SAYS!

I guess when you hit a certain age, you assume that everyone owns a car. I am happy to say that I don't. I am also proud of the fact that I literally can not remember the last time I was on Staten Island for any reason, and this is not a trend that I intend to break anytime soon. Also, I sincerely doubt that these people looked hard enough or long enough, if the best that they believed that they could do was the Staten Island Hilton Garden Inn. This is about a dumb as a midnight boat cruise. Staten Island. STATEN ISLAND. They're high. (But knowing my high school, that's almost fitting.)
