Hello, everyone!
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've decided to bite the bullet and throw another multiple-part party at my place. This'll just be a two-parter, though, for my sanity's sake. :) RSVP for whichever part you like, though the two will ultimately cross-fade, I'm sure. And, it's my birthday! Huzzah. There may be cake.

Part the first:
Finger Food Potluck Dinner

I love throwing potluck dinners, and hors d'eouvres can be pretty bitchin'. I thought it'd be cool to split the difference and have a themed potluck, where all the food is small-portioned. Let the finger food be celebrated! We can all pick up the tiny food and feel like giants!

Mini-quiches, tiny baklava, eggrolls, anything that's small enough to be eaten in only a few bites- that is what will comprise our miniature menu. I'm sure desserts will abound (I'm considering reviving a neopolitan mousse recipe I once made), but "entree" foods are also encouraged. There will be snacks aplenty, as well as all the goodies you bring.

Not much more to it than that. Things will get rolling about 6 PM.
I'll have music, movies, and games, too. You provide the company and some of the munchies! Post in your RSVP what you plan to bring, so I can post a menu and we don't have too many duplicates. If you're not sure what to bring, drop me a line, and I'm sure I can make some suggestions that are easy to make or that can be picked up at the store.

Menu:
Here's a list of things people have said they'd bring, so far. Yum.
Cheese assortment
Danish Kringle
Dried Apricot appetizer
Eggrolls
Fruit
Grilled Polenta with Blue Cheese
Little Crab Cakes
Mini Caprese Salads (or Marinated Asparagus)
Mini Cheesecakes
Mini chicken kabobs w/ sauce
Mini Frittatas
Mini Pizzas
Mousse cups
Small Meatballs (or Goat Cheese, Tomato Sauce and Bread)

If you're game to do so, please stick around for Part 2, the Mixer Party, which starts at 9. Should be a blast!

I'll send my address to the Yes and Maybe RSVP's. Please note, RSVP's will be closed as of the evening of the 27th. If you haven't received the address by Friday, check your spam filters and Meetup profile preferences (be sure you can receive emails), and email me for the info.

See you all on the 29th!
Thanks!

    Holy Schnikes! 100 people! Hope you have a big venue. Looks like it's gonna be a great meetup. Still on the fence. Have LOTS to do before my move next week, but don't want to miss what sounds to be a fantastic evening. Decisions, decisions....
