I've had a negative response to this, so let's not for now, but maybe in the
future...

I figured one person would buy and bring it all, and we would each pay at the
gate.

I don't think it would be any biggie, I could do it. If nothing else, just
figure out the amount we want ot spend and buy whatever is at half-off at shop
at home that week.

OK, this is the most positively received so far, so anyone else who's coming,
if you can bring someghing of your own, please do.

This would be better once we have a real club going. It can wait.

Pizza is great, but the only place that delivers way out here is really
insipid.

Agreed. I just didn't know how much that would matter.

Either is fine. But I won't have time to cook anything, that's why I called
drinks.

Don't worry about soda, unless you have some really obscure preference. I'll
cover the main bases and then some. We have a 75% chance of a cake arriving
too. ;-) I can't think of anything non-greasy either...just bring a roll of
paper towels too.
> I can't wait! :-)
Good. I'm psyched too, but I am still hoping to hear from more of you readers
out there...
