I've got my ten-year coming up on Thanksgiving weekend. I figure I run into most of the people I care to see while barhopping in my hometown on Thanksgiving Eve anyhow, so I'm ambivalent about going.
What do those of you who've been to your reunions think of them? Is it worth the $25?

My bad... it was $20, not $25. I just confirmed my evite and paid up. Apparently, that $20 only gets one person an appetizer bar and a single drink token. Weak.
I looked over the responses and saw that some of the few people I haven't seen in the past decade but actually want to have said yes. That and a couple other inquiries from afar have pushed me off the fence. Peer pressure, still alive and well...

I couldn't give a damn about most of these people... but if I haven't seen Matt or Chase since the summer after graduation, I'm totally down for going.
Not to mention that I've got a couple friends whose band is playing one of the bars in town later that night... I think I'm set up for a fair amount of debauchery.

I've got my five year reunion coming up in May. Even though it's an almost two hour drive from where I live (I went to boarding school), and it's the weekend before finals, I'll probably end up going anyway. Sadly I know a lot of the people I want to see definitely won't be able to make it, as we're spread across the entire country and four different continents.
It's weird - on the one hand, I can't believe it's been five years already, but it also sometimes seems like it's been way longer than just five years. Anyway, there's a harvest festival every October in the neighboring town that's way more of a high school reunion than the official reunions - I can't go without randomly running into at least 20 people from my school, which is impressive considering my school was tiny.
I planned my class reunion (location, invitations, etc.) and then didn't go.
Damn you really are all about the planning. That's hilarious that you didn't go.
insidejoke that is hilarious because I just did the same thing last month! I was on the reunion commitee but decided I didn't want to cough up the $50 fee!
Kdogg, I think $20 is worth it. My decision not to go was based on money. It would have cost $100 for me and my husband to both go and that would have been for a crappy buffet of food that I would just later puke up (morning night sickness) and 2 alcohol drinks in which I would not be able to partake. There was an informal reunion after the football game Friday night that I went to and from the looks of people's Facebook pics the same exact people @ the informal Buffalo Wild Wings party were at the reunion so I didn't miss much.
Jack, A 5 year reunion?!?! That is seriously not enough time passed...unless you REALLY liked the people you went to school with Ten years isn't even enough time for a significant change.
There's a few bastids I wanna see, same or not. I am perfectly alright getting trashed with the same old crew, since we're geographically dispersed these days.
What's attire for the occasion? I haven't had an excuse to wear a tie in a while.

I like the thought of everyone else swelling up... in the meantime, I'm about 15lbs less than when we graduated.
I'm by no means currently a raging success, but I'm sure I'll be alright. Meeting up with a group of the guys to pre-party before we have deal with all this. Definitely need some social lubricant before this gets going.

One of my friends wound up being taken away by the police at a different bar, but I'm not sure what exactly happened. I know the situation involved two of my friends, some other girl's boyfriend, and some broken glass not of the drinking variety. It sounds like other girl's bf actually broke it, his friends blamed it on my Friend A, and my Friend B didn't want to talk to the cops about it because he'd have been in trouble too. (Both these friends have DUIs to their name - don't think they were technically supposed to have been in the bar.) Friend A came out from Colorado, and I think his visit to Wisconsin is going to last him six months longer than he expected.
I somehow wound up with classmate Laurie tagging along with me from the latter half of the evening, so I guess I was a bit distracted from keeping an eye on my boys.
For all I know, I was the drunkest alumni there that night. I had probably five different kinds of liquor running through me. Just one beer - the name "Kilt Dropper" got my attention and I had to try that.

Yes, yes I did... although I'll probably wind up visiting Dan at some point during his unsuspected extended return to the state.
Another random question: do faculty usually show up at these? Mr. Mo, who was in the "just out of college & teaching at his old school" phase when we were students, showed up at ours. That's not normal, is it? Though, I suppose, he's married to a former student who barely looked old enough to be in a bar... that might preclude normal.
