A price hoar? ;) > -Matt What's your policy if the cheapest product doesn't work well or tastes bad? Say, toilet paper? Or guitars? Or cars? Aspirin is aspirin no matter what you buy, but Store Brand ice cream don't taste *nuthin* like Ben & Jerry's!!! I like to think that my brand loyalties stem from having tried a product and liking it. I use Aim, for instance, because it was the first gel toothpaste on the market (that I remeeber, anyhow). I immediately went and bought some, having tried it at camp, because I always hated actual tooth *paste*. Too gritty. Since I like Aim, why switch? I have changed skin care products as my needs changed (altho' I still love the way Noxema smells), and I'm not afraid to spend money on something if it's truly a good product. So I'm not totally hooked in by the advertising for a product. If I try it and it sucks, I won't use it again. Nor do I assume that the most expensive is the best, or that the cheapest is the worst. Budget is, of course, a major consideration!! I'm usually looking more for value: the meeting place between low price and high quality.

This may be her only chance to see Moxy Fruvous, at least for a long time; she lives in Israel. In my desperation for her to attend a Fruvous show I'm thinking of going to King of Prussia & attending a partial show (I heard it starts at seven, seven-thirty?). Is this worth it? I.e. how late are the lads usually in outdoor festival settings? how long does an average concert last? Lastly, if this works out, anyone have/know of a place to stay?
