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?

I am contemplating a bean dish of some sort.  Either inventing a Jamaican black bean layered dish or making cilantro & lime tofu and black beans.  Cant decide which and will probably dither bout it for a week or two more.

I want to come but I made the mistake of telling my bf about this and saying that it was on April 18th. he was like "oh...ok" and didn't sound too thrilled to hear about it. then I quickly realized that is his birthday. so I should probably stay around here for that. shucks.

I hope to remember to bring mine for signage!  Plus anyone wanting a VegWeb shirt just needs to let me know they want one and what general size it should be.

I am going to make a fabric easter basket / bag!  Yay!  hahaha

Oh also, Would people be aghast if I brought the Jelly Belly jelly beans that might have beeswax on the coating?  Or should I leave them at home?

Well, I'd personally say leave them home, unless they are just for you.

Personally, I'm a "really good vegetarian" and bee-products don't bug me (haha). There will also be some vegetarians and a couple of omni-partners... so, if you're looking to get rid of them, you probably can find them a new home.
