Dear Eagle and LIforrelaxin--
My husband and I share your anger and frustration over BC's new "donation" policy--this is indeed a "horrible" case of "extortion," and we have used the same terms in describing it. Our nearly 40 years of continuous patronage and loyalty as season ticket holders apparently mean nothing. But I like Mee-n-Mac's reminder that the Forum Fest will be a lot less expensive!
We haven't attended a FF yet, but the postings and photos have been fun to follow. It would be great to meet some of the wonderful Forum members--ESPECIALLY a fully recovered Rattlesnake Gal. Perhaps this year...
