Our goodly committee is finalizing plans for the great Friday evening feast (bill of fare is famed local KC BBQ), and we need:
1.) A head count
2.) A gauge of peoples' special dietary needs. If possible, we'd like to accommodate allergies/gluten intolerances/vegetarian etc... but we need to know what and how many! So if you need something, please speak up now!
---Also, you are invited, encouraged, and welcome to bring any and all specialities from home that you'd like to share. (Craisin oatmeal cookies? Um, did I say that out loud?!) We are prepared and able to feed the lot of ye, but the more the merrier!
---We will be providing beverages (pop, H20, perhaps coffee), but alcohol is BYOB. Local liquor store information to come.
Cheers!
This will be at the Super 8, correct? Nimue and I plan to be there...
Count us in for 2.
(Was that the craisin cookies m'lady made?)
Count us in for 2 as well. No allergies, no food-related issues (unless you count an aversion to durian).

Umm...YES!!! Way to break the code, Gauwyn!
I'll be there!
The Duchess and I will be there, but will not be eating -- just drinking and enjoying the company. :)

Well ... That's not EXACTLY what I had in mind, but it's worth considering! ;)
Definitely 4, maybe 5 if WTJ's mom comes with. Can't speak for the others about food allergies, but I can die if I eat grapefruit (what a way to spoil a party!), and I can't be anywhere around cigarette smoke. Please don't read that like nobody can smoke - not at all, I don't mean that! I'm just saying this, so if I seem like I'm snobby and not wanting to talk to anybody, it's not that. I'm just trying to stay far away enough from the smoke. ;D
Why did a Beatle song just run through my head? Oh, yeah... It was Lady Renee singing "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party." ::) 8)
Wow, I am so glad Lady Renee brought up smoking. I didn't even think about it because so few places allow smoking anymore, but my wife is allergic to smoke. Not just, second-hand smoke could eventually kill her, like the rest of us, but she has a reaction similar to the flu and sometimes similar to asthma.
As Lady Renee said, don't want to spoil the party, but we'll have to stay away from the smokers too.
I'll be marking 5 years smoke-free a couple weeks beyond RenDezvous. It doesn't bother me in moderation, but we had a house-guest a couple months ago, and we'd sit on the porch and talk while he and his gal smoked. Oddly, I've smelled cigarette smoke everywhere since, even where I know there is no cigarette smoke.
Count us in for 2 (MG and VV)
We have no food allergies/concerns/etc. We love pretty much everything, especially KC BBQ!!
We'll have to think of something fun to bring and share. :D
Can't wait!
You can count us in for two for the food. Bar-b-que is great for us. Lady Joyce has lactose issues, but shouldn't be a problem for this.

The Duchess and I are DELIGHTED that you and your bride shall be in attendance, Brother! We are looking forward to spending some time with you, unencumbered by courtly duties.
We are delighted as well. We heard that you had some damage from the flooding and that your attendance at RenDezvous was in question. It will be good to see you again.
Same here - what Merlin said.
Please add me to the list. No allergies to food :)
Thanks all. We're looking forward to seeing everyone, too. Been looking forward to this for a while, especially with missing KCRF last year. We still have lots to do to get all the repairs done, but things are stabilized and dried out.
Apologies for the late weigh in, but I believe we have 6 for BBQ!
Just a quick note that along with me and m'lady, my older son and my brother are also coming this weekend - should be in around 9PM friday.

Count us both in for this (2). See you tomorrow evening. Our flight gets in at 1:15 so we should be at the hotel early, and would be happy to help setup or do whatever.
Count us (3) in...Should be getting in around 5 or so.
