    I figured I'd start the thread for people to sign up for their potluck items for the picnic next week. Perhaps people should post what they intend to bring by Thursday May 18th. That way, the council members can have a chance to review the list to make sure nothing essential will be missing?

    DIRECTIVE FROM SCOTT

    Food info: Picnic will be potluck style. In order to make sure we don't end up with 85 bags of chips and nothing else, sign up to bring food as though your group is the only one attending. A barbeque grill will be available for use. (historically I've managed to end up posting myself at the grill to get everyone's stuff cooked).

    Food note: I'm going to ask that there be no alcohol brought to the picnic.

    ------------------------------------------------

    So far we have

    Sky_solo - lemonade
    Skatou-Laki - wookiee cookies
    Kay Dee - large ice chest filled with, cans of soda and bottled water

    ------------------------------------------------
    If you can all do me a favor and let me know what kinds of soda you would drink (coke? pepsi? diet anything?) I'd like to make sure I purchase what people actually like. - kay dee

    Kat, you beat me to it!

    Anyway what I'd like to add is that to avoid any repetition of dishes, once someone posts a dish to bring here, that should be it. For example, once a person says "sodas", only that person should bring that. Also, let's use this thread for carpool info. If you're driving and can fit people, please post here, saying how many people you can fit, and where you're coming from. I'll PM the drivers by Thursday night with the address, and you can get directions from there.

    Basically, if you're coming, you're bringing something; and let's all help keep gas costs down by pitching in! Thanks!



    As for me, put myself down for finger sandwiches. I can fit 3 more people in my car.

    As for car pooling, Alison and I spoke about ride sharing. If I drive, I will have to fold down one of the seats for my ice chest. So, I'd only have room for one more person.

    I will bring some hot dogs and polish hot dogs (those huge costco ones) to put on the grill. I will also bring buns. I'm wondering if the hosts will have condiments, though, or if we need to provide them ourselves. Anyone know?

    And if I drive... hm, well, I was going to say it would depend on whether the new cleaner stuff is able to do the trick on my trunk carpet, but I suppose even if it doesn't I could always put down some plastic sheeting back there and stuff could still be stored there. So I would be able to take two more people most likely.

    My ice chest is pretty big and really heavy when it's full. It's almost impossible to lift it into a trunk (that's part of the reason I have to fold a seat down and shove it in through the car door).

    Just something to take into consideration with the car situation.

    Like I mentioned at the meeting, if you're not sure what to bring, you can check Sacramento's thread about the event to see what THEY"RE bringing...

    Ahh, ok. That makes sense. Lifting coolers into trunks is never fun at the best of times; wrestling with one that's really big and heavy sounds pretty challenging. I'm happy either way, so if you'd like to take your car and it would be easier with the cooler, that's fine by me.

    I can take 5 people in my van, leaving from Hayward. Let me know who would like a ride from here, otherwise me and Heli are going by ourselfs.
    I will be bringing meat for the barbeque like ribs and chicken and also barbeque sauce. Hope the host will cook it as he stated. The barbeque is always a big hit by all. If I go see the da vinci code on friday night I will not be able to cook it before hand .
    Kathy, I like Coke or 7Up or carbonated water. I always carry my own cooler in the trunk, so if you dont have it dont worry , I will drink my own. Thanks for asking.
    I do not eat too much beef so my ribs will be pork. I have about 5 packages, about 20 pounds and 5 pounds of chicken. It would be good if someone brings some veggies to grill for those who do not eat meat like zuchini , bell peppers, onions, potatoes and the like.
    Matt , can you call me at your convenience with the directions? I dont want to bug you since you work alot.

    See you all there! After talking with Scott, he said myself and the team didn't need to bring anything but our gig, so I guess I'll trust him! :)

    Also, he recommended we start the show at 7PM, although I seriously think everyone should consider staying a bit longer to have us perform as the sun disappears... I really don't want my performers to croak from heatstroke, and I also (naturally) hoped everyone would appreciate the sabers better in the darkness (since they can be seen)!!

    Neither an FX saber nor a Luxeon LED saber is really "effective" when competing with the Sun. Granted, the Luxeon has a slight advantage at the base near the emitter... but still.

    Anyhow... SEE YOU ALL THERE...
