[MR] Event Pricing

[Olwen the Odd]

If there are teens out there who are brought to events and they are getting 
little or nothing out of it then you have to wonder what their parents are 
doing.  It's probably *not* some kind of service (yes, I'm lumping fighting 
etc into this).  I know several teens and pre-teens who are very active at 
events doing one kind of service or another.  They usually start doing 
whatever their folks are doing and then broaden their own horizons into 
areas that are more specifically of interest to theirselves.  I have also 
been to events where I have seen those bored teens who lump together and 
talk about gameboys and music and mundane stuff.  That is a shame as far as 
I'm concerned.  But I do somthing about it if I can.  I either drag out my 
marzipan or find some other way of enticing them into helping do something.

Well, enough of that rant....Back to your regularly scheduled topic...
