Quick info about the tickets...

You won't actually receive printed tickets prior to the event. Paying by October 3rd guarantees you and your guests entrance into the party, a raffle ticket for each (to be given to you at the party), a name tag, program, and party favor (TBD). Plus you save $10 per person and get into the party easy. Essentially, buying a 'ticket' puts you and your guests on a guest list and we'll have everything ready for you when you arrive! I just wanted to clarify that, in case you buy tickets and are worrying about receiving some piece of paper or printed ticket or what not. We thought about hall passes, and then we were like, nahhhhh...

Oh, and I (Kim) will be contacting you to confirm that I have you on the list within 5 days of receipt of your payment, so no worries there either!

Sad little blogroll...

Look at it there. In the corner. So small and forlorn. Obscured by all the cooler stuff (like survey links and party detail posts). Doesn't anybody have a MySpace page or website to share (besides Jason, Dawn and I)? Or are we just the coolest (biggest computer dorks perhaps)?

Please, email or comment and share your stuff! We want pictures from high school too! Send your digital pics (no file size limit!) to napahighreunion@gmail.com.

Also, I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance! It's safe, secure, and you can even send in a check instead! Get Tickets Here!

We have a special announcements coming soon, regarding our celebrity MC and our DJ. Keep checking!

Napa High Reunion - Now Suitable For Work

Did you know you can subscribe to this site as a feed?

Well, what's a feed?
A 'feed' is all the content from the website, blog, etc. available on the internet without having to visit the site. There are free programs and even built-in ones (in your internet browser) that allow you to subscribe to a feed (or many feeds at once). These programs are called feed aggregators. All you need to know is this: If you want to know every time there's an update on this site (or any site that publishes a feed, which is most sites), but don't want to check the site every hour/day/week, then subscribe to the site's feed!

I use Bloglines.com as my feed aggregator. I have a free account (all you need is a username, password and email address). When I am sitting at work, coffee shop, whatever, I can check the most up-to-date reports from the New York Times, Fark.com (very, very important!), craigslist searches (I want to know what surfboards are out there the second they're listed!), and my favorite blogs and websites (Napa High Reunion at the top of my list!) I can visit 20+ websites, in one place, and only get the most recent content. It's all compiled in one clean window, black text on white background - very official looking.

So, below is the link to subscribing to the feed on bloglines, if you wish. Just thought I'd share the gem - it'll change your life (if you're into that sort of geeky thing).




Tip: If you create a Bloglines account, put the "Easy Subscribe Bookmarklet" in your internet browser taskbar. That way, anytime you visit a cool site that you want to subscribe to, you can simply click the button in your taskbar = voila! Feed added to Bloglines.

Links

Blogger seems to be a bit cranky today. It's decided that it no longer likes the 'target="_blank"' tag, which causes links to be a bit screwy. On top of that, links are wanting to open up under the blogger address - which causes a lot of fun 'Page not found's. Yay.

All links are a bit whack. I've been able to go through and fix most. If you're up to the puzzle, click away. It's kind of like Sodoku, but less fun.

- oh, and not to worry - everything is still secure and safe. It's just trickier to get there.

Payment Form Link...

should be back up and running. If you have any problems with it, please let me know at napahighreunion@gmail.com. Thanks!

For amusement purposes

Kim here...
What did we ever do before the internet? Seriously.

How did we study? Find directions to parties? Settle arguments (thanks Wikipedia). And most importantly, plan reunions! I just can't even imagine doing this all...on paper. eeeek.

This occurs to me because for the last two weeks I have been managing/updating this site, the survey form results, the payment form, the MySpace page, and the email address - all within the little spaces allotted to me at work (they call it 'lunch', but I don't have time to do this 'eating' thing they speak of). And a little bit before work (uh-hem, now), and hopefully a bit after. But when I return home tonight, the elusive 'they' (The Keepers of sacred internet) say I should have the DSL up and running. You just wait. If all goes well, I am going ramp up with the reunion brew-ha-ha. Pictures, posts, links, and party fever. They can't stop me now! Today, 5600 baud, tomorrow - the world at my keyboard.
Mwuhahahahahahahaha!!!!!
__________________________

In the meantime, please send any pictures you have our way! The #1 request from all of the surveys is to see pictures at the reunion. Of course we have some of our own - but littering the party with our five mugs might get...tiring. So PLEASE SHARE!

You can send digital pictures to napahighreunion@gmail.com, or send good 'ole film prints (remember those?) to Katie Fontana, 24442 Valencia Blvd. Apt. 2107, Valencia, CA 91355.

If you have a blog, website, or MySpace link that you would like to share on this website, please comment here or send me an email to napahighreunion@gmail.com with your link. I'd love to get a list of 10-100 links at the bottom of the sidebar. That way you all can peruse, advertise, stalk your classmates and see what they've been up to. So far we have a few links, but we need more! Don't be shy!

Calm before the storm

Things have been temporarily on hiatus as far as reunion planning is going this week. I think we all needed a milk break. We are busy, busy girls! Aside from planning the great party...we've had three of us on the move, one of us get hitched, three taking on new jobs, one selling a house, two in new relationships - and there's only five of us! Five, you ask? Why yes, we've added none other than the lovely Brooke Dunton to our reunion planning team! We have been so excited to have her help - she's been a huge asset so far! Thanks, Brooke!

But inevitably the storm will pick up and rage onward. As promised, a party announcement is coming soon. One with all the details you need to know. A list of our entertainment and prizes. Food to be shared. Special guests to be revealed. It's all coming soon!

In the meantime, fill out a Survey!

Yes, I know we sound like broken records about these surveys, but we desperately need them to continue to make this party a success. Each survey lets us know who we've found and how we can keep in touch with them. So please fill one out! Thanks!

Party Update!

Thanks to everyone who has filled out a survey - it helps tremendously with planning! If you haven't filled out a survey, please do so by clicking on the word survey now. And please pass this website and survey link along to anyone from our class.

The enthusiasm and interest in this party has been amazing! Right now, we're looking forward to an even bigger party with more faces, a fantastic venue (recently changed to accomodate more people and our bigger plans!), a growing list of awesome entertainment, stories to share and memories to make!

Plus, thanks to your many suggestions and thumbs up, we've decided to include the Class of '95, whose party last year was not a smashing success. Our new mega list of invitees will help drive costs way down for everyone, and will also mean there will be that many more recognizeable faces at the party!

So, Class of '95, welcome! And please fill out that darn survey to let us know who you are! If anyone would like to help in contacting folks in this class, we'd be glad to take on volunteers. We are also looking for a bravebored soul to crack open a 1995 yearbook and type up a list of all the '95 class members, in an Excel spreadsheet. Fun, right!?

Keep visiting us – we will be announcing ALL the goodies about the party VERY SOON!!

Oh, and again, click here to fill out a survey, if you haven't done so already. Thanks!
