3hr Party People.

As my 10 year high school reunion creeps closer and closer, my in-touch high school friends have been discussing whether or not to go. Two of them succinctly made an observation that I got to experience firsthand this weekend.

Simply put, she said that she already sees the people she keeps in touch with, so the reunion is either an opportunity to see the people you don't really care about, or to reconnect briefly with someone who you liked, but didn't necessarily take with you when you left. More so, the people you don't plan to continue to talk to, but you're happy to see them, catch up, and then move on.

Point of fact, last night Saturday night. I went to a birthday party for my friends at Pioneer Bar [Bowery & Prince] (). Immediately when I walked in I was greeted by a friend of mine from whom I had fallen out of touch with, largely because we went different ways in life. But I'm glad that we got a chance to catch up, and furthermore I actually do plan to keep in better touch with him in the future.

That being said, I think it bolsters the girl's account that the reunion's purpose only serves those two goals: Judging or updating, and sometimes though rarely, as in my case, reconnecting.
