Wiscon 2014: party?

[frotz]

We had what I thought was a fun (if sometimes somewhat disjointed) panel about Glitch at Wiscon last night. (Writeup separately forthcoming!) The idea I was left with, though, after we spent at least as long talking in the lobby afterwards: how about having a party?

Anyone else interested? If you have experience at hosting con parties, do you think it'll fly? Cooking and Cocktail Crafting anyone?

This, though, leads to the really important quesiton: WHICH PARTY PACK?

Bring Famous Pugilist Grills and make Obvious Panini. There should definitely be knives and boards and makings for other sammiches too, and crudites. And pocket salmon (lox)

Be sure to have some butterflies hanging around...and lots of little bottles of lotion. Perhaps mount some butterflies on milk jugs, or on a milk dispenser if you can actually lay hands on one.

Here: this will help plan food...

Hey, knives and boards as part of the party means party prep takes less time! Winning! (No, seriously, we used to do sangria for the Think Galactic parties, which was great except chopping fruit took forever)

Milk is also a great Wisconsin item. We should come up with a story for Chocolate Butterfly Milk as well? And perhaps a Soybean Butterfly for vegans.

Other easy items:
-Cheese plate or snack pack (probably some pretty great pickles can be acquired at the farmer's market!)
- hi sucrose corn syrup square (aka rice crispy treats. could be made gluten free!)
- raw bio-organic carob-ish treat (I'd make this a good vegan treat) and the various other candies
- Best Bean Dip
- Cheezy Sauce (it's Wisconsin, ok?)

Probably too complicated:
- Snow cones? Unless a local has a snow cone machine for some reason. These seem to be rentable but that's probably expensive and complicated.
