A ticket to a game is expensive. One reason I won't be going, for sure.
The ticket I got was free or I'd have never gone. I'm not paying those
prices for a couple hours entertainment. No food included, either.
The appendages on #2 are much wider spoon forms than on the Tbird sdlg.
They also aren't attached as far down the falls as the parent seedling. I
liked that attachment. I tend to like simple lines over ornate structure
and staying attached so far down the falls makes the appendages follow the
line of the fall and I prefer that look personally. Clearly that would be a
matter of taste. I like the horns and understated spoons best of the
appendages. Flounces tend to be too much for me.
