People keep spelling this out to me like I've never been to a gathering
before. I went to the Wedding-that-wasn't in April and met up with lots
of people from all over the world. It was great fun. I made many
friends. But it didn't cost $75 to go to Brad Hamilton's house (thanks
Brad) and hang out with everyone. Sure, lots of us went to the park as
well, and that was neat too.
I think people keep missing my point: If the cost of admission to the
park were separate from the cost of admission to the Brickswest stuff, I
wouldn't have blinked, because I would then have the *option* of
deciding for myself whether to pay for park admission.
As it is now, some members of our caravan from SEALUG are re-thinking
the trip, and at least one of us isn't going to come, because of the
high price of admission. This makes me sad. :^(
