Also reminds me of how frivolous a $150 mug seems when some households are struggling to make basic necessities lately.

I too have been thinking about things like this. I bought a new car recently, and felt lucky to be able to do that since so many people don't even have a home to live in any more. I won't make it to Oasis this year though since I bought the car, but plan on going in 2010. I figure we gotta live for today...never know, I could loose my job and all my worldly possessions tomorrow. I am irritated that I am getting an IOU for my State Income Tax Return...I hope I can sign that over to pay my property taxes!!!

I'll keep buying Tiki items & having parties while I can...I agree in that escapism is important during these times. Also checking into chains and renting a truck to capture an ATM in order to support my needs in the future. :)
