Make sure we have:

Find out who's got dietary restrictions & what.

Clover's husband is diabetic; sugarless, and no-carb stuff, also low-salt.

Things we'll definitely need:
Chips, soda, carrots, other veggie tray stuff, dip.
Beef stew? FatherSir's famous onion-dill bread?
Harvest-appropriate stuff (pumpkin!)
Anything anybody particularly wants to bring
Halloween candy

Little Fayoumis will try and hog the carrots, so have plenty.

Strongbad costume:

[livejournal.com profile] ralmathon (where is the boy?)
Dawn (likely will be in CA)

Clover, her husband, their son

[livejournal.com profile] yaksha42, [livejournal.com profile] mi_wounded_soul, Mr. President. [livejournal.com profile] jedi_rezboy.

Heck, why not the GSU as well? So, [livejournal.com profile] whatsuphx18 would be in that crowd...

Select of [livejournal.com profile] votania's cow-orkers

[livejournal.com profile] othercat, Sithkitten

[livejournal.com profile] witchofrock, [livejournal.com profile] machinegirl.

[livejournal.com profile] reichiere, [livejournal.com profile] loneprism, the rest of the anime crowd.


[livejournal.com profile] swallowtayle, [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa, and [livejournal.com profile] gremliness, not to mention [livejournal.com profile] iroshi, [livejournal.com profile] elance, [livejournal.com profile] mcredneck, and [livejournal.com profile] wibbble and the rest of the Texas crew have a standing invitation, same with [livejournal.com profile] shadesong, [livejournal.com profile] yendi, Elayna, and [livejournal.com profile] penguinboi -- though I doubt they'll be in the area. [livejournal.com profile] wiseheron, [livejournal.com profile] shywickedpixie, [livejournal.com profile] rainstorm13, [livejournal.com profile] boojum, pity you aren't local as well.

This isn't by any means a final list; I know there will be people with other plans. I've probably forgotten some people, too...




Planned activities:

Gaming (PS2)
Games: uno, rummikub, chess, Clue, candyland, connect-4
Movies? Anime?
Hanging around
Pumpkin carving?
Someone taking Little Fayoumis trick-or-treating
Someone manning the door for trick-or-treaters
Food
Gossip
baking?

We have two screens, so there can be gaming in one room and a movie in the other, or something.
