Originally posted by todras: Anyone want to fill me in on why paying is an issue this year? SZ has been going on since 99 and we have never heard so many small remarks and eye rolling. Yea a hole $80. Like a day or 2 working at McD's. Plus everyone has known about this for many many months. You can't put away and extra $10 a month? The food at the banquet on Sat. is worth about $30 alone. I'll bet the last date you went on was double that.
i'm on a fixed budget and have absolutely no spare money, and student loan repayments are coming to boot. i want to hang out and meet with some cool contour people, but i have no desire to race go carts and eat at a hotel. so a "whole" $80 is a lot to me just to meet some people. call me crazy. and if you guys won't hang out with us b/c we didn't pay, then i'm glad i didn't waste my time.
whats hard about that to understand? i can't speak for previous years, as i'm fairly new here, but this air of "you can't hang out at a show and shine with us because you didn't buck up and pay for food and go-carts" really makes me feel unwelcome.
perhaps that is why this may be the last SZ ever....
