Not Fare

$20, actually. If you paid on time. $25 late, and $30 at the door with no Maddox.

So I was thinking that the party in Cedar City was the best ever as far as graduation parties go. Then I was listening to my sister tell about hers. They had Maddox cater from 11-12, and then later they came in with stacks and stacks of pizza from The Pie. In the library they had tons of TVs set up with Halo on XBox, ping pong, inflatable toys from Some Dude's Playground including one where you attatched a bungee cord to you and then ran and see how far you could get before you get thrown back (yay for friction burns). They had ping pong and a DJ and everybody that came in had a wrist band with a number on it. In the school office there was a duffel bag with a corresponding number on it that you could keep your stuff in and come check it out whenever you wanted to. Then at the end of the night you got to keep the duffel bag, which was huge, really nice and came with a water bottle and mesh holder for it on the bag. They also showed The Creature From the Black Lagoon on reel-to-reel, and 1/2 way through the sound got off from the picture by about 1 second. Hilarious, cheesy and totally awesome. They also gave out about $1700 in cash and stuff like a moped and other items. So now there are two (2) graduation parties that I've seen or heard tell of that simply kick my graduation party's backside. What did I have, you might ask? the Ogden Recreation Center something or other was rented out (some of the rooms weren't even opened) and they had weird food that wasn't that great. I won some candy in a drawring. I don't even remember anything else. They might have had a DJ at ours, but the whole thing wasn't very impressive and we left 1/2 way through to go watch The Fugitive over in Eden. Now I'm through drooling and complaining. But speaking of Cedar City, after DCI finals the Cadets and Vanguard are going to stay there on their way to Cali. Ricky was thinking of going to see them. Road trip, anyone? You won't even have to eat prickly pear, I promise. More later.
