Gas prices and munches
It's probably time for me to come out and admit it: I was the only one present at the last two munches (August 20 and September 17, 2005). High gas prices probably have something to do with it; they were already on the rise because of increasing worldwide demand for crude oil, and then Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf of Mexico. Gas has been above $2.70/gallon for months and has exceeded $3 at times.
There's also the fact that my munches aren't any kind of flashy, attractive affair. I'm not trying to put on a party of some kind -- I don't have the resources necessary to hold an AB party. I've stated over and over that I'm only arranging these munches because I think we just need a place and time to meet. But sometimes I worry that there isn't much of a "we" anymore.
Well, I'm not going to quit. But I think I will ask people to tell me if they're coming -- if I don't get at least one RSVP, I'll stay home and save myself time and money. This may require me to put some kind of flag on my web page that states whether I've gotten such an RSVP or not for a given month. I'll have to think about that.
