10-year high school reunion

we went to nashville this past weekend for a quick trip centered around my 10-year high school reunion.

it was blast! there was a family picnic at a park on saturday afternoon and a banquet/dance on saturday evening. it was great to see so many people that i hadn't seen in years. i've connected with (and spied on) some on myspace in the past year or so i wasn't clueless as to what's gone on with a lot of people since high school. i also studied up with the senior yearbook and was able to name almost every alumnus on sight. such a scott thing to do i suppose.

there was a bit of a hubbub in the last few weeks leading up to the reunion as some complained about the price and some (inevitably...) kvetched that they weren't coming to a reunion with people that just made fun of them in high-school. instead they set up an 'anti-reunion' at don pablo's across the street. that's fine, good for them. the funny thing was that half of them ended up coming over and crashing the real reunion (i thought they didn't want to be around us?). it was pretty late in the evening though so it's not like they got much of anything (besides music and dancing?) of cost.

actually, a funny point in the evening for me was when, around 10pm during the dancing (which, as a sidenote, stunk because they only played hip hop and none of the fun dance music you're used to hearing at wedding receptions. could've used some swing music or something ...), i had been standing at our table people watching for quite a while and decided to sit down. all of a sudden three alumnus crashed in (they hadn't been at the real or anti reunion prior to this) and made quite an entry. they were all the typical jerks (but not jocks) that made fun of everyone in high school so it was much like a group of villain wrestlers bursting in to interrupt a match. in fact, i think i could even hear jim ross screaming "good golly is that j.r., jay, and john's music??!?!"
