Just because -you- didn't have any fun.... (the rest of us did)

Usually the place where you rent from carries insurance or provides
that info.

I had too much fun. But it's not amusing anymore. Just sad and
pathetic.

I was thinking about the whole goth thing the other day. We went from
goth to emo to Vampire loving followers from the Twilight series.
There is no new blood that would be interested in our music or the
lifestyle we live or lived. So planning an event that caters to a
dwindling population seems futile to me.
