Be sure to RSVP as space may be limited. 2000 Brian Gershon IMC-Tech (Oct. 1) “Seattle IMC TECH Snackluck Gathering”: Seattle IMC TECH Snackluck Gathering—THIS THURSDAY 10/5. Please bring your favorite snack/drink so we can EAT while we meet! (Less taxing than a full-blown potluck.) 2003 [JulieR] Heeeeeeere’s Jules! (Washington) (Oct. 31) “Baked Chicken Korma & Rice”: I was encouraged to see so many potluck posts, but I’m wondering—how do you get folks interested in putting out some effort for a potluck, so it doesn’t turn into snackluck (everyone bringing chips or pretzels, with no real food), outside of doing a signup? 2005 [Mandy] This is boring (Miami, Florida) (Oct. 31) “Good news/bad news”: Scary movie night is tonight. Lots of ghost stories, scary movies, snackluck, etc. 2006 Will Gardner Portland Mercury (Oregon) (Sept. 21) “Cuddle Me, Please!”: Twenty-five dollars seemed like a lot of fucking money, considering the refreshments were potluck (“snackluck,” as it was called), the decorations were simply mattresses and pillows, and the organization not-for-profit.
