foREVer56 - you made my night! i've been reading through this forum for days, trying to piece together things from people's & the invididual houses' reviews, and that was exactly what i was looking for!!!
i've been torn about this for years....i'm definitely intrigued by the set-building & artistry that goes into the event, but my scaredy-cat side has always won out. i do scare very easily & have always assumed HHN would be too intense for me. long story short, my baby brother (just back from afghanistan) arrives tonight for a visit & this is the ONE thing he wanted to do while here....and i just didn't have the heart to say no. so now i'm trying to summon my courage!
