You could have a Kegger in the park. | ||

Hiring eight to ten strippers would be a good way to go. | ||

Rent out the Scarab Club. Cool. Funky. Pretty cheap. They are flexible with their space. http://www.scarabclub.org/ You can customize how fancy you want to get. Don't think they allow strippers, but I do know they've have a lot of naked women running through the artists lofts upstairs. Or, you could check out The Players Club on Jefferson in Detroit http://www.theplayers.info/Ren tals.htm | ||

how many people might be attending? because location can all be dependant on that. i was contemplating coordinating my 10 year reunion IN detroit, unfortunately some snotty girls yanked that chance away from me and we had it at some stupid bar in a strip mall across from the troy motor mall *gag* anyway, some of the preliminary ideas/info i had was: - the majestic theatre w/ catering from the cafe - renting out cliff bells - the casino or conservatory on belle isle - the dyc (if you have a connection) - the roostertail | ||

Hold it at FUSIA and have everybody order the Duck Duck Goose or whatever that grouchy old kraut imposter called it. | ||

Anybody ever seen the movie "Cooley High" ? That horrible sitcom "What's Happening" was based on that film. | ||

"does anyone have cool, creative ideas" Probably matters also how much you want to spend, or does the term 'creative' refer to being cheap? | ||
Margaret Member Username: Margaret Post Number: 129 Registered: 06-2007 |
well, it could mean inexpensive, not cheap. mostly I am interested in things that are different from the typical reunion setting... | ||

Sometimes the best parties are the ones without any elaborate theme or plan. What if your 'cool, creative idea' turns out to be a bust? Best not to plan too much! Good luck and most of all relax and have fun. | ||

We had our reunion at the Antheneaum. It was not as expensive as we though, though we did a lot of the leg work ourselves. Your class would be big enough to get the nice room on top. Afterwards, everyone had places to go like the casino or bars. I got a room as I was one of the chairs and wanted to make sure everything went right. It was huge! | ||

Hire Oldred and Karl for a boxing match. That would be great entertainment for the reunion! | ||
