Denham Springs High School Class of 1997 was reunited last weekend. I think I want my $95 back. The food was okay, but the DJ was a dork and the only beer was BudLight. Out of the 300+ potential attendees, I estimate 40 attended. Apparently most of my former friends aren't into the reunion scene. I did run into a couple of the old crew, but most were absent. I'm sure they have good excuses. For the most part, it was the people who hadn't managed to reach escape velocity and break free of the small town gravity. There were only a handful of us out-of-towners.
The best part about the weekend was the time I spent with my parents. It was great being in town without some major event going on (the reunion was only a couple of hours on Saturday). The last couple of visits have been for weddings or funerals or major holidays. My mother was almost calm. Those of you who have met her know this is a rare occurrence.
It's good to be back in H-town. I think I'll skip the 15 year reunion.

This sounds a lot like my 5 year. Only one of my old crew showed up and the rest teased me cause I was still in school wasting time. (One comment was that employed people had desks... still unclear why my desk didnt count.) There was much talk about how to commit bankruptcy fraud and upgrading to a double wide. Charity banned me from attending my 10.
Mine's next year, and so is Nathan's. Haven't decided if I'm going, but I probably will.
I bet a lot of my dorky high school friends will be there.

I actually had a good time at mine. We had a good turnout and I saw some people that I hadn't thought of in years. I don't think I'll go back to my 20th, but I'll wait to see the guest list. :)
