ROKS (Colorado) Burns Night

[Nighthawk]

$50 is actually fairly reasonable when you consider all that goes into a Burns Supper; Haggis, the venue, decorations, entertainment, etc. Our local St. Andrew's Society charges $40 per person, whilst a Burns Supper in a major city like St. Louis or Chicago can go anywhere from $70 to $100 per person.

That's not to say that a Burns Supper cannot be held for less cost, but as the organiser of a Burns Supper for over a decade, I feel that some explanation is owed when people question the costs.

Don;t get me wrong, man- I'm ot saying it's not reasonable- I know how much these kinds of events can run an organizer- I'm just saying that I can't afford it right now... Which is why I didn't get to see Flogging Molley when they were here.

Shoot, I just had a new head gasket put in my car along with a change to the timing belt. So I'm out 2k and that means tight pockets until after my wedding in April. I'll have to pass on this meetup, sorry guys.
