Not to belittle what you've done, Matt, which is really a lot and I
commend you for it...
Personally, I would like to be given the option of paying for admission
to Legoland and the Brickswest shirt. I went to Legoland last April, and
I don't feel like they will have changed so much to make it worth paying
to get in again. I also have a drawer full of T-Shirts, and it's
doubtful that I would buy the T-Shirt if that were an option.
So hypothetically, if one were to subtract LLC admission and the
T-Shirt, that would bring the ticket price down to around $40-50, right?
I'll still come to the event, but just for the record, I would like to
be given the option of deciding whether I want to pay for LLC admission
and a T-Shirt. Put that in your "Griping and Moaning" notebook for next
year.
