I just imagined the scenario where I have to somehow put everyone in this city at tables in the venue space simultaneously for a sit-down dinner and immediately burst into tears.
Why do you hate me. Why would you ask this thing of me.
okay first of all: deep breaths!! it's going to be okay!!!
second of all: you don't have to Put People At Tables, you could have a small number of standing tables where people can eat something quick and then meander off again. use plastic dishware and have a spot to self-bus, done
We do have standing tables! And I know someone's doing hotpot which to my understanding is better classified as sit-down food as opposed to finger food. So I think as long as it's easy to eat it should be fine. If it needs both a knife and fork, figuratively speaking, it's probably too much.
OH and we have the patio. Maybe I can get some tables onto the patio. Where are my post-it notes.
but no I think it's fine... I can change up the figs to make them more of a dessert item. but coffee should come out after champagne and punch, that's more of a dessert finisher than a main dish drink
Drinks got decided because I don't have anyone doing them but I can't have no drinks. Believe me, I know — I've never even had a cocktail, I am grossly unqualified to be handling them by myself. I just don't have any other options.
Okay, so quick question, do you also come with a cape and tights, or do you keep your superheroing more on the downlow?
I'm not going to turn down extra help provided they're reliable and can get the job done. I've got a cafe guy covering champagne and coffee so if I can count on you for cocktails, that would be the solution to a problem I didn't know I even had.
Lestat would start running background checks on you to see if you're a viable candidate for ensuring my lifelong happiness. Kaveh would probably seal you in some kind of pneumatic cage while he did it.
Don't get too cocky. He'd lay one of those cartoon traps with the box and the stick and put a bottle of red hair dye underneath. It'd be all over for you.
Same here. I mean, I'm sure they'd be classified if they did exist, but I doubt they do anymore. Or even if they did, the nosy party in question would have to reach them first.

real finger foods:
- whipped goat cheese figs
- brie & prosciutto stuffed dates
slightly less finger foody but not knife and fork material:
- sprouting cauliflower with brown butter and lemon
and then maybe a bread thing? like a burrata or bruschetta type. idk you tell me

Right now the plan is to have champagne in flutes, coffee available, and...some sort of punch, I think? Does that change your lineup at all?

And by all means. We're still a week out, that's sufficient time provided this damn city doesn't do something stupid (I say, tempting fate).
