Over 30 years ago, I received a brochure in the mail promoting a Summer music camp. One of the brochure's main pitches was the opportunity to meet new friends, or as the advertisement put it, NEW FRIENDS. That phrase appeared repeatedly in all caps throughout the ad. (i.e. "You'll have the opportunity to make NEW FRIENDS. Is the opportunity to make NEW FRIENDS important to you? You'll have the chance to rehearse and perform great works with NEW FRIENDS.")
I declined the offer. I was content with the friends I already had.
