which would you do this saturday night?

[mopinko]

i have to choose between-
going to a 40th grade school class reunion, which i have been looking forward to since one we had 3 years ago,
and
seeing stevie wonder (my all time fave) at grant park during taste of chicago. now, this is a logistical fete. it will be a zoo. i love stevie. but only the lucky and the persistent get to actually see and hear much of anything. that is not usually me.
so, what would you choose?

1. Personally, Stevie ...

I don't remember anyone from grade school I'd give two burps about seeing.

4. you know, before i went to the last one,

i would have agreed with you. in fact, i couldn't really even remember the names of any but the neighborhood kids. but i had a blast at the last one, and was really glad i got to see a lot of them.
stevie, tho.....

6. I think you've already made up your mind.

There'll be be other concerts... *fingers crossed* :-)

2. Stevie, if he doesn't play anything after 1985 or so...

...most of the folks I grew up with in grade school, I also went with to high school, and there are quite enough reunions to go around (missed my 25th on purpose).

If you want, you'd have a chance to reconnect with them on the phone, individually, only the ones you'd most want to..

3. Although I avoided my own reunions

10th and 25th, like the plague, I went with my mother to her 45th reunion and had a blast. There were only 29 people in her entire graduating class though so maybe they had more of a bond. You could hardly avoid knowing everyone in your class with only 29 people.

5. That is tough! If you have lots of friends you possibly won't ever

see again at the reunion, then maybe you should go there. Although, Stevie is pretty awesome!

7. the big thing in the reunion's favor is

this is a free concert in the park. you have to stake a place out all day to see or hear jack.
maybe i will let the weather decide. if it is beautiful, i won't go, cuz it will be packed. if it is drizzly and rotten like it is right now, that's the time to go. you get wet, but you get to see and hear.

8. well, maybe i can have my cake and eat it, too.

DH and friend say they will camp out and hold down a spot to see stevie. there is a friday night get together, spouses and all, then there is the saturday thing, which starts at 1. i would have to leave about 6ish. (my hometown is about 50 miles away.) i can decide friday night what i think.
hmmmmm.
