Grrrr!...

I just got an e-mail from the St. Andrews Society in Tokyo in regards to this year's Burns supper, and boy did they just cheese me right off!

I was so looking forward to attending this year, until I saw the bloody price! The price is a whopping ¥24,000!!! That's friggin' $263 USD for the love of Mike! What're they doin'? Exhuming Rabbie himself and bringing him all the way from Dumfries for the festivities? I could've sworn that when I looked at the info from last year, the tickets were ¥15,000 ($164) and even THAT'S pretty pricey. But $263? Good grief! If I were to go with my wife, the whole thing would cost me $660 with gas and highway tolls added in. $660 for a SUPPER! I dunno about you rabble, but I can think of a lotta things to do with $660 other than buying a single meal!

Unbelievable! Must be that everyone struck it rich and didn't tell me, because I sure don't have that kinda scratch... Man... Really, really, really disappointing is what it is.
