Pot Luck 2004 - informal survey

Hey all,

I just wanted to get some feedback/suggestions from people regarding the weekly pot luck thing... I know that the general response seems favorable, but I was wondering if there's anything people feel is lacking? Do you think it needs more structure or variety?

I sometimes feel a little bad that there might not be enough choices for people to dine on. I try to end up making additional food items when I see there might be a need for them - but of course, the best way to improve that is for other folks to bring more "food food" kind of stuff.

One possible idea might be that I could make an entree or decide on a theme and announce it, and then people can bring side dishes? So if I say like "lasagna" other people can say they're bringing meatballs or italian bread or garlic bread or whatever? And if I say "tacos" people can bring mexican dishes? I know people don't have a lot of time to cook or shop for food, so I thought side dishes might be easier?

It is also possible that I am just obsessing too much and should just let pot luck be pot luck and be done with it... either way, let me know. :)
