BP & RC plan an Easter Thing (Capital Region, NY)
I know this is a few months early.... but yesterday Baypuppy and I were cooking bunches of foods for the freezer in my new giant kitchen (we made TONS of ravioli with my pasta maker) and we got to talking about having a vegan Easter potluck/meetup/get together. We could make Seitan-Hamz and make vegan easter chocolates and cookies and party down in the new-improved Chez-Rabid_Child (in Latham -- 15 minutes north of the former Chez-Rabid_Child in Albany). Another idea we were tossing around was having everyone bring a pre-determined number of plastic Easter eggs with a vegan treat inside to hide, then we could have an Easter egg hunt! (And also encouraging everyone to wear their "Sunday Best" and their "Easter Bonnets" -- and possibly having someone dress up as the Easter bunny so we can have Easter bunny pics. HAHA!)
Easter this year is on April 12th, so we were thinking either the weekend before (April 4/5) or the weekend after (April 18/19).
Our new house is pretty big and we can accomodate overnight guests if people wanted to come from further away.
As always, both vegetarians and vegans and respectful omni friends/significant others/family members are welcome, though all the food would need to be vegan so that everyone could enjoy everything.
Does anyone have any interest? If so, would one weekend be better than the other for you? Saturday v. Sunday?
Not crazy!
BP can attest to the massive amount of crash space I have in the new pad. Just bring a sleeping bag and pillow and you're set! (as long as you don't mind possibly being poked at/climbed on/sniffed/dug out by the cats all night)

That sounds pretty hot.... I'm all for that!
Ohhh bp... this would be the perfect opportunity to make a bunch of truffles like we're always talking about doing and never do cause Easter = Candy.
After reading this thread before bed I had a dream I was making ravioli with y'all. And it was really good.
We haven't decided. Either is fine with me. When is your baby shower fiasco? Is that the weekend before Easter (the first weekend in April) or the weekend before that (the last weekend in March).
I have not received a FB invite and I am seriously considering coming. :'(
If it makes you feel any better neither have I ... and it's at my house XD
I think that's cause I'm not on BP's facebook.
Yes, yes, and yes.

noooo dude! i TOTALLY remember sending you one cause i remembered you were like "i'm thinking about driving 7 hours to come" so i was like YAY.
you are listed as "maybe attending". soooo... did i post over here before doing the FB?
Still left me out :P
Yep. it's under my ualbany address cause i joined when you still needed an edu email. you could find me by my name though. I'll be the one who hasn't posted a suggestive picture.
I signed up as a 'maybe'. I'd like to get some of the DC/Burbs crew to come so I don't have to drive 7 hours alone.
Amtrak!
I'll have to check prices. Good idea, RC.
I am committed to this potluck.
Yay!
I'm inordinately excited that mdv is coming. I'm excited to see all of you, but I'm REALLY excited for mdv. This will be epic.
mdv, you have to sign my vegweb shirt!
and then you can never wash it again!! wa ha ha!! :)>>>
did cali start the "badges" post?
yeah I was wondering about that too...
So I'm thinking the weekend after Easter for this thing. Everyone good with that?
sounds good. ;)b that is when FB says it is :^
So it is written and so it has been cross posted around the internet.
(And like that we get a few weeks off of crazy cooking!!)
MDV, if you or the DC crowd wants to drive up early, you are all welcome to crash at my place!
Plus if you do this gives me more incentive to go too. I think LB might be on a golfing trip during this so motivation to leave the house needs to be high. haha
In case anyone needs some arm twisting... check out the spread BP and I put on for my housewarming this weekend >:D

Yeah, that spread was pretty dang sweet. Before I left, I made sure to spoon a bunch of crock cheeze into my pocket. Was delicious, save for the lint.
That looks incredible. Wow. Yum.
