*nod*. i didn't even check how much the parties are. huh. i couldn't find it easily on the site, maybe i overlooked it -- but in the nerve.com review it said $20. that's certainly not cheap, but also not onerously expensive for 3.5 hours of self-discovery or just comfortable closeness, o,plus apparently some snack food and non-alkie beverages. so a party host makes 200-400 bucks per party, minus some outlay for provisions. i don't see anyone getting rich off this.

are those people also opposed to paying for counseling?
