By now the vegweb potlucks are infamous...and freakishly tasty.
Anywho, I'm gonna be in KC the weekend of December 8th for my brother's graduation. I'd be willing to head a little west of there if folks would be interested in gathering. Come on someone - offer up a great location!
Firefightress?
Superveg_n?
veg_grrrl?
Oooooh I'm totally up for it! I'm off Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, but I have to work Sunday. How do these work then Dinkfeet, since you've been to some of these before?
Yes. Yes I am trying to up my number. Number of Kansan firefighters that is! If I add firefightress to my dad, then there will be two!
FF - is that raw place open Saturday evenings? I'll be in Manhattan Sat morning. If no one else pings this thread, you and I can chat offline too - do you have PM?
Waaaaaahhhhh it's the weekend before finals.
I SO wanted to be a notch!
boooo! I'm in the same boat as Meggs, here.
I'd LOVE to attend my first-ever VW potluck and meet some groovy people...and I'd be willing to travel to KC (it's only like, 6? hours away) if it weren't for the fact that it's the weekend before finals. There's simply no getting around that. :'(
but seriously, I'm all about planning a Midwesterner get-together sometime! Actually, it'd be sweet to have one in, like...the end of May...so the weather would be nice (outdoor picnic!) and it'd be after finals for most students.
I love that idea CarrotWench - a Midwest gathering in May. What's in season that we could harvest in May?...Kale?
Okay - votes for a place that's central to STL, KC, Chi-town, and wherever CarrotWench is in Iowa.
Suggest places! Suggest dates in May (the first two weeks of the month is best for me)
Sweet- BP and Dink in one shot.
I'm so there.
Seriously BP? You'd venture to the bible belt? I assumed you were one of those "coasters" who was hoping the U.S. government invented the strip of land from North Dakota down just to make the map bigger ::)
are you driving? wait.... i think my "south" limit is NC (at least it was for job searching ::))
humm... dink, i think we should just do a cross national tour :D
NICE idea.

Whaaaaat?! And collaborate? I'm not an author on one of your manuscripts. No way dude, I'm getting to Meggs first!
well, i'm still sad that you love her more than me.... or think she is cuter. whatev ;)
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
There isn't a competitive bone in your body is there?
Alrighty folks - last call! Firefightress, Tkitty (maybe?) and I will be chowing down on some vegan food and riding FF's horsies this Saturday south of Kansas City. Come join us and be a notch!
If not, we're thinking of a date, and location for a Spring gathering (for Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, etc.). Send me a wave hello and I'll PM you to get your suggestions.
I'd be interested in a May VegWeb potluck in the Missouri/Illinois area! Let me know!
i want to go, too. why not?
HEY!
who's still up for a Midwestern May potluck, hm?
seeing's how we're inabouts the ides of April, I figured now would be a good time to remind people/cement any possible plans that are in the works....
I haven't any real suggestions as for a date and location, but I do know that my lease is up on May 31st, so I might not even be in this region after that day. :o So I'm definitely up for a potluck sometime next month if there are still interested parties!!
I would offer to host(ess) the event, but that's only if Northeast Iowa is a convenient meet-up spot for enough of us...and it looks like more of us would prefer a location further south, so......
???
Dude. I could totally come to northeastern Iowa. I'm in SE Minnesota. Otherwise, I've got a sister who lives in KCMO, so I could potentially make it down there. Or Omaha. Or Minneapolis. Or anywhere in between!
I'm outta school June 6th, and I know I have plans for Mother's Day weekend. But any other weekend is good for me!
Oh crappers - we ARE close to May, aren't we? Okay, roll call again, who we got?
PineapplePrincess - MN
CarrotWench - IA
Hespedal - aren't you in CA?
BP - you'll drive anywhere for a potluck, wontcha?
We lost the KS and MO folks, so IA it might be. Anybody else?!
Hey everyone--
I know it sounds like the potluck's moving northward, but I wanted to put in a good word for the KC vegetarian/vegan meetup group, which has a vegan potluck the fourth Saturday of just about every month. Great group!
