I ask because the high school I once went to has an alumni assoc. and
they are asking me to register and get in contact, come to reunions, that
sort of thing...
I went to their webpage and it seemed kind of sad. A couple of cool
guys are dead and all the hot girls are, well, ummmmm different.
Oh, and all the wonderful teachers I knew are dead...
So, it seems to me that these sorts of things are a good way to feel
silly, guilty, mildly retarded, and depressed, all in the same day...
I'm thinking of passing...
Ever been to one?

I went to my 20th and it was more depressing than fun. The dweebs were still
dweebs...just middle aged dweebs. The hotties were starting to look like
Joan Rivers and lots of the cool dudes who I hung with were either alcholics,
drug addicts, both or dead.
I've been getting pinged pretty regularly to attend my 40th down in Texas.
I've seen enough Vincent Price movies.
;o)

Once Kirsten Andersen and Stacy Naglestad were married I decided there really
wasn't a reason for me to go back ;-)
I also avoid my Yale reunions. I went to my ten year and people were BITTER.
It was 2002, right after the bubble burst and they all realized they weren't
going to retire at 35 like they thought. So my decision to use my twenties
kicking around the world, getting high and getting laid suddenly looked like
a much better idea ;-)

I missed my 20th but they apparently had so much fun that they decided to
have a 25th. It happened to fall on the day of Danny Gatton's funeral.
It might have been pretty terrible anyway I guess. All the people who were
gung ho back in the old days (1966 - 1969) were still gung ho. All us outsiders
were still outsiders. Fun.
Not.

Go. I went to my 20th high school reunion. It was bizzare, surreal and it
took me out of my element, whatever the hell my element is.

My 20 year was great, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one at 25.
Yes, ppl have died and the chicks have gotten, er... older.. but the coolest
things about it were really the reconnects and most importantly to see how
all your old friends and buddies have grown as people. Stuff that was 'huge'
as a kid/teenager has long since been overshadowed by life and for the most
part we were equals w/o the "i have" status getting in the way. YMMV.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my 20 year, but that was partly because
my rock band from those days also had a reunion and played for the reunion
dance. :) But it was also just fun seeing who changed, who didn't, what
they were doing for a living, etc. And it was pleasantly strange to find
myself to interested in everyone, because in high school I was pretty much a
misanthropic recluse outside of our band gigs.
The nightly thunderstorms were fun, too. (June in eastern Montana).

I went to my 15 and it was pretty good. Got to reconnect with a great old
friend and see a bunch of other old friends. Havn't done one since. My 30
is coming up this summer, I'm thinking I may go.

I am glad some of you had good experiences, but I still think I will pass.
Sounds too much like a Zombie movie... ;-) though I liked that band
thing you did Sarah.
