Instead of a top-down approach to the holiday party this year, we would like to see if holiday cheer can be an emergent property of component interactions - a bottom-up (or bottoms-up) paradigm. Since wine night was a success (and very easy to organize) I'm proposing that the holiday party be modeled on this idea. That means: bring what you want to drink, plus your favorite appetizers if you want. We can get the CDS account to pick up the tab on this one. We'll also be making cocktails, non-alcoholic libations, and snacks. Tsbayer

Dessert snacks
Katie volunteers to make/bring Mississippi Mud Pie, yummy chocolate brownie topped with marshmellow fluff and chocolate icing.
IF I have enough time, I'll make my famous kugel --Andrew
Real appetizers (i.e. meat, cheese, oil) - [insert name here] will take care of order and pick up
Potato skins, buffalo wings (TGIF run)
Love the TGIF idea, but the closest one is 15 miles away I believe, the next best thing could be Moose McGillyCuddy's (Oldtown), B.J.'s (Monrovia), Chili's (Monrovia), or Wing Stop (Monrovia) --Andrew
I think Monrovia is inconvenient - if we can't find it in Pasadena I say don't bother - MMcGC is a possibility though - Christina
there is a Hot wingz place on colorado in old town as well as a Hooters...just FYI
I can pick something up (even if it is oily)--Kristy
