That’s pretty shitty.

My 10th reunion is next year (yeah I’m younger than y’all old asses). I have no real interest in going. My best friends back then are still my best friends now...there’s not too many people I care about reconnecting with. The few people worth keeping in touch with, I have been fortunate enough to keep in touch with. I didn’t have a bad high school experience. I just have little desire to revisit it. I may still end up going because my soon to be wife (we went to HS together) wants to go.

The Facebook group page got started over a year ago (so 2 years before the 10th year) so there must be some people really looking forward to it.

^pretty much that exactly for mine. I didn’t care to go, but my fiancée (now ex wife) wanted to, so we went. It was actually pretty fun except somehow I was under the impression that the $30/person we paid meant open bar when it actually only included food (it was at a brewery/restaurant). I got decently drunk and kept ordering drinks for everyone and was pretty damn shocked when I got hit with a $150 tab at the end. I did find it amusing that a bunch of people were complaining on the Facebook group that they couldn’t afford $30 even with 6 months notice.

GrayFox33 and I just missed our 10 year... I missed it for Hopscotch. I didn't have a lot of interest for similar reasons expressed earlier. The people that left are not the people coming back -- which, no surprise, lines up pretty closely with who I'd be interested in seeing. I saw a few photos on Facebook and I barely recognized anyone, and it was a very small class.

there's also like 500 people in graduating class...so even in high school at the time, there was a lotta people i didn't know. so a class that large, imo, makes it even less desirable to attend.

Honestly that has been my experience with trying to plan anything over the past few years. In the world of "Maybe Attending", everyone can use your event as a backup in case nothing better comes along at that time. SO MANY people are flakes these days. If you don't want to come/can't make it just fucking say so, it won't hurt my damn feelings.

Needless to say, I did not plan the 15 year reunion last year. Someone else put something small together but it was the same weekend we host a Turkey Fry at our house which meant most of the HS friends we'd want to see were at our house
