I just bought 25 steaks the frozen, high quality stuff that you get through delivery) for this party, lol. THOSE will be on a first come, first served basis! After that, you'll have to resign yourselves to pulled pork BBQ sandwiches (absolutely delicious!); hamburgers; some brats and then after that the lowly ole' hot dog.
Remember, this is a FREE party, there is no cover charge, I don't expect anyone to bring anything (but you most certainly can bring something if you want to!). I made some homemade coleslaw at the last party that I absolutely loved (whether anyone else did or not, lol). Gonna do that again.
I was thinking of doing an early afternoon party, but I have had email from people thinking this was going to be a night thing. Doesn't matter to me- whatever anyone wants to do! Maybe start mid-afternoon and cruise into the night.
My heart goes out to the hundreds of people that have written about their situations - people that are losing their homes, that is something that is just unfathomable to me. These aren't lazy moochers, either, these are hard-working people that have had the misfortune of losing their job and not being able to find another. Unemployment benefits are better than nothing - but it certainly doesn't cover the cost of most home mortgages in this market.

Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI like what you're doing. I won't be attending the party, but was wondering if you take donations, either to help cover costs for the food or just to give to someone who needs it. I wouldn't be able to give much, maybe $20 or so. I'll e-mail through CL for where I can send the $$.

Hi Bryan:
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for you offer! I'm thinking I might send out some flyers in my neighborhood - as someone else suggested - and get some locals in here as well. There are definitely some needy individuals in this neck of the woods. That would greatly increase the size of this party - whose RSVP's numbers are starting to grow. Help will be appreciated! I have a paypal account or I can give you my address.
Thanks!
