Everyone seems to almost say the same thing. The same In group just hang with their own. It's like watching the movie "Ground Hog Day" over and over. The results don't change.
Anyone here ever consider attending (or perhaps actually attended) a HS reunion just to try out a "Revenge of the Nerds" or "Romy and Michelle's HS Reunion" theme?
Yes! I went to my 40th a few years ago, and swore to myself I would bruise the male parts of the two thugs that beat me up in the pool during PE one day. Fortunately for them, and my arrest-free record, they didn’t show. Probably in prison, too broke to attend or dead.

Cool! What year were you in when Cameron Crowe came back for a year (1979) to do research for his book? If I'm adding the years up correctly (countin' on my fingers actually), you were a senior in 1979? Did you actually get to meet him? Did he sit in on any of your classes?
The one friend (who later sued) was buddies with him - hung out in the journalism/school newspaper crowd. He sued mainly to get his attention and get him to renew the friendship.
I tried to convince the organizers which were the class officers to do exactly that. Citing the same rational. At the time my budget was very limited and I was sure there were others that were in the same situation. Unfortunately they decided to have a nice heavy hors d'oeuvres or a dinner and held at a exclusive Club. I went anyway and had a good time. But I sure would have liked to have seen other classmates but couldn't make itWould any of you have gone to their HS reunions had they been held in less formal venues, such as a picnic instead of a more expensive restaurant or club? Some no-shows, I have heard, would have liked a picnic instead of a more expensive venue because they could bring their kids. Others just didn't like the cost of a more expensive venue. I have also heard of HS reunion committees offering both venues, a picnic during the day and an adult-only event at night, with the attendees opting for either one, or both.
