ePlaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?

[theCryptofishist]

Who the hell was complaining about having everything a week early?

Go through eplaya and find quotes for the ice-breaker/quote game...

Sorry, I don't remember the thread, so I'm posting that here....

So.... I wanna try my best to not be shy and come. Honestly, you all will be the closest thing I have to knowing anyone at the burn.
Seeing as I've probably only read pages 1-5 and 25-30 of this thread I don't know what I should (or shouldn't) bring. Is there a list or is it not quite that formal?

[Ratty]

Yes, YGMIR put the list on page 28 most recently. Bring Food or booze or non-alcoholic drink or chocolate moose.

[Savannah]

I thought I saw a potluck sign-up document somewhere. Can someone point me to it please?

searching the first few pages of the thread turned it right up:

Here it is. Click above . . .

[twister5voy]

Guess I didn't read as many pages as I thought.
Thanks for the link.... see you all next week!!!

[TT120]

Jamesons. I'll bring Jamesons.

[theCryptofishist]

and chocolate mousse...

Here is what you should bring: whatever you want. People do nice things, for the MnG. Me, I fly in and have no room to bring say, homemade pimento cheese or handmade gifts for everybody. If you start to feel bad about not being able to contribute "stuff," remember there's other stuff like cleaning up! The gift of demooping can be just as valuable as a bottle of almond champagne (note: I said *almost*).

Here is what you should wear: whatever you want. Me, I like to dress up because I like to dress up. And I know I won't be going anywhere for a few hours, so I can wear something I wouldn't normally wear (this year's theme, key party glamour). Other people just do shorts and t-shirts. Nobody cares, as long as you're happy!

From one excruciatingly shy person to another, be sure to come to the MnG. It's about the best time you might have at Burning Man.

[Elliot]

All right... I have packed a 5-liter box of white wine and three 2-liter bottles of Coke and other mixers for this event. You have 24 hours to request a change in this "order". (I leave in 28 hours.)

[Sham]

I say to double it!

[Elliot]

I say to double it!

But Millicent has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of only 31,000 pounds, and I must be approaching it.

[forty_eight]

Beer ... probably some ice, too.

[VultureChow]

I was going to do something cool, but realized I will have a busy day. So grilled mass amounts of protein it is. Maybe teriyaki chicken tenders. However much fits in my dry ice cooler.

[Savannah]

Ooooo.

[Asquared]

i don't have the ability to click on the google docs doc...can someone do me a favor, pretty please?

Not that I can see. Vulture Chow is signed up for "some Grilled form of protein" but not sure what that means.
Either way Bring your own grilled cheese, everyone likes grilled cheese.

That was my guess. but didnt want to assume

[Asquared]

thank you mrpotato.

i won't have the on-playa ability to do grilled cheese. and as i said, soup minus the grilled cheese is lame (and who the hell eats tomato soup sans grilled cheese?)

i'll think of something else.

If you provide the bread and cheese, you can use my propane griddle. I'm grilling my meat ahead of time.

Depends on how many Jackrabbits she runs over on the way in.

I do know someone is planning on grilled cheese sammies

[C.f.M.]

Being gluten-free at Burning Man suuuuuuuucks!!

[VultureChow]

Being gluten-free at Burning Man suuuuuuuucks!!

Bacon and vodka is a perfectly acceptable playa diet.

Not quite as acceptable as the bacon in a hot grilled cheese sandwich...

Wasn't there going to be some sort of epic try out of grilled cheese camping sandwich irons? We spent days talking about grilled cheese. Days. People were reminiscing about their childhood ovens, trading advise on where to buy them, wondering whether round or square was better. It was a "thing" really it was. There should be dozens of grilled cheese sandwiches.

Is there something like gluten free bread--rye, oats, whatever? Could you bring a loaf and show up with it and ask to have a sandwich made with it?

Every time I've brought bread, muffins, crackers, etc. They've either molded in a day or two or gone rock hard.

There is

[theCryptofishist]

Savannah has been able to keep bread out there, for more than a day or two. The trick seems to be to open the bag for 20 minutes a day, so the moisture escapes.
