5 Reasons to Attend our High School Reunion

Look, I know that at this point in our lives, a 10-year reunion doesn't seem like that big of a deal.  With "Facebook fatigue", we all think we know everything going on with the people we really care about the most from our time in school.  And let's face it... it takes guts to come out and see people you may not have kept in touch with for the past decade!

But there are actually some really great reasons to attend our high school reunion.


5.  You can escape your family for a bit on the long holiday weekend, and enjoy some good food, drinks, and atmosphere!  It's downtown Bloomington, on a magical night when the sparkly lights kick off.  You don't need too much of an excuse to enjoy a night out.  And Grazie makes good food.

4.  It's not going to be awkward.  It's not.  Seriously.  Because you know what?  Everyone who is attending is going because they actually WANT to see you.  And if you're shy or it starts to feel awkward, your ticket includes two free adult beverages.  Live a little!  It's not like prom where everyone goes because they feel like it's this integral part of life, and it's all about the dress/car/etc.  This is real life!

3.  You will regret it if you don't go.  If you chicken out and don't go, you'll later be stalking all the photos on Facebook/web of how much fun everyone had without you.

2.  You can reconnect with people who lost touch with.  Remember that girl you were besties with in 9th grade, but you drifted apart and now she's changed her name and moved and you can't find her on Facebook?  Guess what, she might be at the reunion.  It's the perfect chance to strike up conversations with people you may not have known as well in high school, too.

1.  There's no substitute for seeing people in person.  Facebook may let you "like" something, but they won't let you hug, congratulate, or connect with a real human being.

BUY YOUR TICKET BEFORE PRICES GO UP ON OCTOBER 25TH!
