JC: will any of the sammiches be vegetarian? No pressure, I just wanna know if I’m gonna need to bring enough noshables to keep myself and the kid uncomfortably stuffed to the gills for the party 🙂 ---

We haven’t ordered them yet so let me check with the caterer. ---

Ok cool. I don’t know how much other people would enjoy a cheese-and-lots-of-veggies sub… maybe a show of hands for interest? ---

Heck, bring one if you’d like. With the invitation sent out about 3 hours ago we’re above 30 people attending. ---

I’ll go, if I can get a ride. ---

FWIW, **Opal** and **JC** , there are exactly three things I prefer not to eat (two of which require gunpoint for me to shove down my gullet). None of them involve cheese or vegetables. And my brother may well be there. I think you two have seen him eat;) [sub]I defy you to prove that the cheese in a mcdonald’s cheeseburger is real.[/sub] ---

Oh. Right. That whole “I need a ride” thing. Back seat’ll be kinda tight with you and my mother and brother innit, **Captain** , but if you wanna give it a go it’s ok with me. Ain’t my ribs that’s gonna get smashed with my brother’s sharpened elbows. Now she tells me she is planning to go a-cabining after a stint of some undetermined time at the party. So you’ll either be cramped or not. ---

JC let me know if one of your sammiches will be cheese+veg and if not I’ll try to bring one. I gotta know in advance though because I’m pretty sure they need notice ahead of time. ---

Hey wait…where you takin’ that cheese 'n veggie sammich??..bring it back, no no…it’s the precious…YEAH I want a piece! Sufficient support for meatless options? What can I say, I shamelessly play both sides of this fence. I can party with grilled tuna AND a meatless wonder-wich. Add me to the list of people milling around thinking about car pooling. I’m coming from North DC and can take my gas-guzzling moster or liven up someone else’s mobile- E-mail’s in my profile! ---

One tip, children… Carpooling is a **really** good idea. ---

My bus always has room for Bozos. Where might the Cap’m be coming from? ---

Yeah JC doesn’t have a convenient parking lot. The bastard. ---

If I get the van cleaned out I _may_ be able to take a few people, but I can’t make any promises on when I’ll be arriving or leaving so it might not really be a good idea. Plus I may decide to take the car. Backing out of that driveway in the dark was a nightmare at Halloween. ---

As to carpooling, **moi** and I will be coming from downtown Baltimore, so we can take 2 (3 small and/or freindly) other Dopers. Or we could go with somebody else who’s dying to drive. Tip on parking: if you’re planning to leave early, (Like, before 11pm) park across the road in the empty lot. (Assuming that’s still there and available for parking) ---

I’m still negotiating the use of the lot. Everyone play nice or Ol’ man Lineberry has been know to rearrange paints jobs with bird shot. And I ain’t kidding. ---

Looks like **Cleophus** may be carpooling in with us. Any other MD Dopers need a ride? Oh, and what can we volunteer to bring? We were like total mooches last time. ---

I like total mooches. Bring what you feel like. But naked redheads are best. ---

But I don’t know any naked redheads. However I will be bringing the motorcycle so that will reduce the number of cars by one. Am I going to be the only biker there?
