My 10 year reunion was last fall.

It sucked.

Hard.

- Only about 40 people showed up out of a graduating class of ~230
- The DJ was way too loud. Uh, you go to a reunion to catch up, not to be deafened by bad music.
- The food was so-so
- The bar only had the cheap stuff. The "2 hour" open bar ended 15 minutes early and converted to a vastly overpriced cash bar.
- There were 5 separate reunions being run by the same reunion company in the same area, in adjoining rooms separated only by air walls.
- We could optionally submit a bio of what we'd been up to the past 10 years, to be printed in the program. They wouldn't print mine because I refused to release my street address. (If you'd known some of the people I graduated with, you'd know why I withheld my address!)
- It was expensive - more than half again what we paid for our prom, which was at a MUCH nicer venue. (Yeah, prom was 10 years earlier - even so.)

I'm not sure if I'll be going to my 20th. If the 20th is run by the same people who ran the 10th, though, NFW am I going.
