Wow. So much good information. Thanks all. If you're interested in my conclusions, here they are.

I think Alice hit the nail on the head for me. The folks who are planning this are the same ones who planned everything when we were 16. I didn't understand them then, and I doubt they'd understand me now. No reason they should, 'cause goodness knows I've rejected so many things that are essential in their lives. I get the feeling that curiosity (and probably the morbid kind) would be my only motivation in going, and that's just too negative and too pointless. From their website I gather that even Gordon C who turned me on to Pete Seeger, "outgrew" his banjo and folky ways by the time he became an "adult". The only thing I outgrew was the desire to "fit in". Think I'll give it a miss.

Thanks again

Rick
