I don't want to speak for the group, but I don't personally view the Prom as a pay-to-play event. The $41pp (or whatever) is NOT a ticket price.
Speaking as the one what is holding the purse right now, I totally agree. Seanie, you had BEST get you & your girl to Prom.
If you can donate, cool. If not, cool. It's a party, doll - that's it.
Um, Sean, why is this even an issue? Of course you're coming to the damned prom.
I mean, DUH, dude.
Are you guys coming to the BBQ Sunday?
Oh, I gots ta' send money....
juliana, I can PayPall you at your profile addy, right?
My invisible internet friends are too cool for school.
Are you guys coming to the BBQ Sunday?
Well, the real purpose of our trip is to spend time with mom, sis and nephew down in SJ, so I think it will probably be a one or the other thing, much as I'd like it to be otherwise.
Then you're definitely coming to Prom. Deal with it, little brother.
What they said. Fuck it, man - get your collective asses to the prom.
You SHALL go to the ball.
Seriously, y'all are making me blush. Over the Internets.
