Glad you can bring a grill, Czarcasm, because mine’s not portable.
Ok, as talked about above, Im in for the paper plates, cups, forks, napkins, etc.
Does anyone have an Idea of service for how many? 25-30, 10
I`m so confused.
Just buy some really cheap paper plates that come in large packages and a couple boxes of flatware.
Here is the list of people who have so far responded to this thread:
Czarcasm — is bringing stuffs
Taters
Bumbazine — uncertain
liirogue
Denis — bringing stuff
Tentacle Monster — uncertain
Tikki — uncertain
leafrog — probably not
Kallessa
Amarinth
Stargazer
look@hergo!
Aesiron — is bringing stuff
Gr8Kat
Cervaise — mentioned “we,” which I think means herownself
Saltire
Burnmeup
picnurse — mentioned herself and **Fireman
Janx
Master Control
**and Fish —bringing stuff
If everybody above goes, that’s 23 people. (Someone call Adam Weishaupt.) If the uncertains are removed, that’s 18. 23-18=5. Uh-oh.
It would make it much, much easier for those of us bringing food if people could verify their attendance. That we we know how much stuff to bring.
Also, do you want someone to bring buns and condiments, Denis, or were you counting that as part of “hamburgers and hot dogs?”
I imagine Cervaise would want to bring something fish-ish or chicken-y to enjoy instead of beef burgers and dogs.
Eight days left! Everybody speak up.
Master Control and **Gr8Kat ** will be coming and should be bringing some sort of enchilada casserole somethingorother.
**Kallessa ** will be in Olympia then and won’t be attending.
Ah, good to hear there is more food en route.
Confirmed:
Czarcasm
Denis
Aesiron
Gr8kat
Master Control
Janx
Fish
I’d like to attend if that’s okay with y’all, but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to make it (new job, still working out schedules, prolly won’t know one way or the other till the last minute). I’d appreciate it if someone would post directions, though, just in case.
Where are you starting out from?
I still plan on trying to attend; however, that day is the day that has been earmarked for our HOA clean-up the neighborhood thing. So, unfortunately, put me down as uncertain at this point. I’ll be sure to check in here and let you all know for sure by mid-week.
Seattle.
I was hoping someone else would bring buns and condiments.
Someone please volunteer, 'cause eating burgers and dogs without buns and condiments is like reading the Dope without a sense of humor! :eek:
Ok, I’m just confirming that I will be bringing plates flatware, cups and nakies for 25-30 Dopers. I will be there around 12ish. Sorry I cant really bring Ice for sodas but maybe there is a stop n` shop place around there. Oh and a camera for the all important black mail photos. 
Noonish sounds good to me. According to Fish, I’m bringing “low carp” spaghetti, but if no-one objects I’m gonna use beef instead. 
OK, OK. I’ll bring buns and condiments too.
Does everyone want 2 liter bottles or 12 oz cans? And do you have a preference for Coke or Pepsi products?
Any diet soda-even the cheap stuff.
Are we going to have anybody else attending at all? Wow, today’s Tuesday—three days left to plan—and nobody is even sure they’re coming?
Hm. If we don’t actually get planned food for the picnic pot luck by Thursday, what do we do?
Burgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, soda, and enchilada somethingorother should be enough for just the people listed. We should only worry if others drop in unannounced and without food in which case I suggest we pelt them with the still glowing charcoals from Czarcasm’s grill.
I have been remiss in not keeping up with this thread, and I do heartily apologize, so let me just say that I am currently in a whole 'nother state, (Michigan), and so won’t be attending.
That’s all. I’ll just move over to the side here now and get out of your way.
I hope you all have a wonderful time.
I am still endeavoring to attend. If I do, I’ll provide my own grillable, and I’ll also probably bring something pasta-y from the deli.
Don’t know if my wife will be there or not. Probably not. Finishing the PhD is the top priority right now.
